Each case of communicable disease is the result of an orderly progression in. a series of events. This series of events may be described as a three-link chain, each. link representing a factor essential to the transmission of disease. These links (figure 1-1) are: (1) The source of the disease (reservoir) (2) The means by which the disease may be transmitted (mode of.
Radio Waves. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light . They have have frequencies from 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz, and corresponding wavelengths from 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers. Like all other electromagnetic waves, radio waves travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning or by astronomical objects.
Surface wave. In physics, a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media. A common example is gravity waves along the surface of liquids, such as ocean waves. Gravity waves can also occur within liquids, at the interface between two fluids with different densities. Elastic surface waves can travel along the surface of solids, such as Rayleigh or Love waves. Electromagnetic waves can also propagate as surface waves in that they can be guided along a refractive
