Welcome to the Friday Seminar of the Physics & Astronomy Department!

The seminar intends to introduce students and interested faculty to topics from various fields of physics. The main purpose is to discuss in an informal setting physical concepts to which usual lectures cannot devote enough time.

The Friday Seminar takes place Fridays at 12pm, in PH1-219 (map). Pizza and drinks will be served!

 

An Introduction to Water Waves IV

Christian Bracher

Friday, May 9, 2008

The waves generated by disturbing the surface of a liquid are a most familiar example of a wave phenomenon that is, however, usually omitted in the textbook treatment of waves. Starting out from the principles of hydrodynamics, I will derive some of the unusual properties of water waves.
