Salt hydrates are an important class of PCMs. An inorganic salt hydrate (hydrated salt or hydrate) is an ionic compound in which the ions attract a number of water molecules, which are then trapped inside the crystal lattice. A hydrated salt has the generic formula MxNy. nH2O.
To determine the amplitude of a transverse wave, measure the highest amount of disturbance from the equilibrium that the wave experiences.
