  1.                          Waves
  2. -----------------------------------------------------------------
  3.   Dust can create Waves in many way:
  4.       1D-Waves: Longitudinal/Transversal in
  5.                 x-direction
  6.       2D-Waves: Longitudinal/Transversal in
  7.                 x-y-direction
  8.       3D-Waves: Spherical/Faked
  9.  
  10.   Wave-Parameters:
  11.        amplitude
  12.        wavelength
  13.        source|sourceXY|sourceXYZ
  14.        phase
  15.        damping
  16.   A Damping-factor of 1.0 means: at a distance=wavelength
  17.   from the source you get the amplitude=1/2*(amplitude at
  18.   the source).
  19.  
  20.   Interferences:
  21.   To interfere some waves you have to apply it sequentially
  22.   (superpose).
