Wave equation
text:
The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave fields such as mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves. It arises in fields like acoustics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics. This article focuses on two-way waves in classical physics. Single mechanical or electromagnetic waves propagating in a pre-defined direction can also be described with the first-order one-way wave equation, which is much easier to solve and also va
