What does the Laplace transform tell us?

The transform has many applications in science and engineering because it is a tool for solving differential equations. In particular, it transforms linear differential equations into algebraic equations and convolution into multiplication.

Which techniques is useful to find inverse Laplace transform *?

Use of Tables.

Is the Laplace transform linear?

4.3. The Laplace transform. It is a linear transformation which takes x to a new, in general, complex variable s. It is used to convert differential equations into purely algebraic equations.

How do you find Laplace inverse?

Definition of the Inverse Laplace Transform. F(s)=L(f)=∫∞0e−stf(t)dt. f=L−1(F). To solve differential equations with the Laplace transform, we must be able to obtain f from its transform F.

What do light waves look like from a glowing object?

If the object consists of only one point, then the light waves look like this: If, on the other hand, the glowing object was, e.g., a rod, then each point along the rod would give off light waves independently, like this:

How do you determine if a wave is longitudinal or transverse?

So, if we can determine whether there is only one direction for the medium to vibrate, or two, we can determine if the wave is longitudinal or transverse. As it turns out, there are two directions for light waves to oscillate and, consequently light is a transverse wave.

Are there any online models of light waves?

The only models I can seem to find online are 2D waves, they just look like sin() graphs. I have seen the models of the two components of “light waves” (electric field and magnetic field) and they are represented on a 3D Cartesian coordinate system, but they are still just two 2D waves.

What does the height of the sine wave in the image represent?

The first 2-D image you posted is a typical simplification for teaching purposes. In it, they use the height of the sine wave to represent magnitude, and the directions of the sine waves to show how the fields point relative to each other. The light itself however is not itself at all cone-like.
