If I want to design an ultrasonic transducer or saw device, then what is the significance of the velocity which propagates through the medium in the form of energy.
Wave velocity is the propagation velocity of mechanical wave, and it can also reflect the vibration frequency of particles. In different types of media or boundary conditions, there will be different forms of waves and vibration modes, as well as different sound velocities. There will be body wave, surface wave, interface wave, etc. their sound velocities are different, as well as dispersive and non dispersive waves. Generally, surface wave is a kind of coupled wave in semi infinite medium that meets certain boundary conditions (solid-vacuum boundary). The wave velocity is constant, and the working frequency (resonant frequency) is designed by selecting the wavelength.
