Complex wave form in ANSYS?

Is there a way to input wave speed in a complex form on ANSYS? The wave speed I need to assign a material is 325(1+0.11i) however I have been unable to do this thus far. Failing that, is there...

Will aluminium electrodes (cathode or anode) corrode when biased in pure deionised water?

If two aluminium electrodes, in deionised water, were biased to 5V relative to one another, would we just observe electrolysis of the water? Let us assume that the water is perfectly pure, just...

Physics: Why do we describe light by referring to its wavelength, but microwaves and radar pulses by referring to their frequency?

In physics, the description of the properties of light generally refers to its wavelength (nm), while in the range of microwaves and radio waves we refer to the frequency of a signal (e.g. kHz or...
