Wave equation
Differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave
Wave equation
The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave fields such as mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves and seismic waves) or electromagnetic waves (including light waves). It arises in fields like acoustics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics. This article focuses on waves in classical physics. Quantum physics uses an operator-based wave equation often as a relativistic wave equation.
