It is impossible to conceive the mental side of a sensation as a form of wave motion.
It is a form of wave motion peculiar to the nerve substance, but correlated with and developed from other types of energy.
We may trace the external force to the sensory organ, we may trace this force into a nervous stimulus, and may follow this stimulus to the brain as a wave motion, and therefore as a form of physical energy.
In this conception he was supported by Euler the mathematician, and in 1690 he was able to give a satisfactory explanation of the reflection and refraction of light, on the hypothesis that light was due to wave motion in the Aether.
We shall look again at the principle of wave motion in the next chapter.
It may be vibratory motion as heat, or wave motion as light, or rotatory motion as electricity, but motion of some sort is inseparably connected with all matter.
He supposed that light, therefore, like sound, might be due to wave motion, but if it were wave motion, there must have been a medium to propagate the waves.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "wave motion" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
