- In mathematics and physics, a traveling plane wave is a special case of plane wave, namely a field whose evolution in time can be described as simple translation of its values at a constant wave speed , along a fixed direction of propagation . Such a field can be written as where is a function of a single real parameter . The function describes the profile of the wave, namely the value of the field at time , for each displacement . For each displacement , the moving plane perpendicular to at distance from the origin is called a wavefront. This plane too travels along the direction of propagation with velocity ; and the value of the field is then the same, and constant in time, at every one of its points. The wave may be a scalar or vector field; its values are the values of . A sinusoidal plane wave is a special case, when is a sinusoidal function of . (en)
