Objectives of the Course
To provide the students with a general knowledge on wave propagation in different circumstances, to enable them to understand how propagation in the damped media, to help them use their knowledge to understand the free and forced oscillation processes taking place on the earth, to teach them how to search for wave groups and group velocity, refraction and reflection of waves from interface.
