Wave equation
Thank you for your edit to the Wave equation article. I think I see exactly what you were trying to achieve and I agree that it is a good idea in principle. Unfortunately, a circular wave has a Bessel function amplitude. Since it is not sinusoidal, the 1/sqrt(r) amplitude isn't really true except asymptotically for large r. In particular, the growth is decidedly not like 1/sqrt(r) for very small r.  (Whereas, in three spatial dimensions, the 1/r amplitude works for both large and small r!)

So, I have taken the step of removing your added text. However, I am just another editor, so by no means is it the case that my actions trump your actions. Please, if you feel that I have made an error, let's discuss it here. Or, if you have a solution that will satisfy your aim and my critique, please go right ahead and edit the article again.

Thank you — Q uantling (talk &#124; contribs) 21:58, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
