elliptically polarized sound wave

5.18 elliptically polarized sound wave. Transverse wave in an elastic medium in which the displacement vector at any point rotates about the point, and has a value that varies as the radius vector of an ellipse....

plane polarized sound wave

5.17 plane polarized sound wave. Transverse wave, at a point in an elastic medium, in which the displacements at all times lie in a fixed plane which is parallel to the direction of propagation....

cylindrical wave

5.16 cylindrical wave. Wave in which the wavefronts are coaxial...

plane wave

5.14 plane wave. Wave in which the wavefronts are infinite parallel planes normal to the direction of propagation.
