Computer model on linear wave propagation
Many studies have been carried out by researchers over the years in attempt to understand waves. In conjunction to this, different wave theories were published. In this study, linear wave theory which is the simplest and mostly used theory to describe the wave motion is used. Microsoft Visual Basic...
