e.g., travelling waves have a structure such as ''cos(kx-ωt)''; however, most propagating waves can still be recognised clearly by their distinct footprint in the biorthogonal modes (provided there are not too many): a travelling wave will produce a pair of modes with similar amplitude and a 90° phase difference. | e.g., travelling waves have a structure such as ''cos(kx-ωt)''; however, most propagating waves can still be recognised clearly by their distinct footprint in the biorthogonal modes (provided there are not too many): a travelling wave will produce a pair of modes with similar amplitude and a 90° phase difference. | ||
