Which of these is not a property of finite wave?(a) The perturbations are large(b) Wave shape changes(c) Linear equations are used to govern the flow variables(d) Wave propagates with added local speed and speed of soundI had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This key question is from Finite Waves in chapter Unsteady Wave Motion of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) Linear equations are USED to govern the flow variables

For EXPLANATION: Finite waves unlike the sound waves have high perturbation of density, velocity, temperature etc. They are known to propagate at speed which is an addition of local speed of mass velocity and speed of sound. The shape of the finite WAVE does not remain CONSTANT like the sound waves and the flow variables are governed by the NONLINEAR equations.
