In physics, a wave is an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy that travels through space or mass. Frequency refers to the addition of time. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, which may or may not displace particles of the medium âthat is, with little or no associated mass transport.Waves consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations (of a physical quantity), around almost fixed locations.ave motion transfers energy from one point to another, which may or may not displace particles of the medium âthat is, with little or no associated mass transport.

If the national clearance rate for burglary is only 12.6% (and in the single digits in some Texas cities), then punishing the few burglars who're caught more harshly makes only a small dent in crime.he national clearance rate for serious crimes in 2006 - i.e., the percentage of reported crimes solved, by police according to the new Uniform Crime Report-seems awfully low to me:
And it appears that these clearance rates do not compare favorably with the rest of the country. According to national data from the FBI for 2006, the most recent year available, the national clearance rate for all violent crime was 44 percent while Houston's was 26 percent.ith the exception of homicides, the clearance rate for other serious crimes was little better. In 2007, only 21 percent of all violent crimes were solved. Robberies, which seem to have become endemic around the city, were only solved at an 18 percent rate.
