What does Laplace operator represent?
I was wondering what's the physical meaning of Laplace operator.
I think the laplace operator is also representing "field" but it works like Wave. In a book I had seen that
The above equation is representing wave. So does that mean Laplace operator represents wave?

Laplacian acts like Divergence but not completely. If you take a function (called
But if you write Laplacian like this :
than it will represent a wave.
Divergence of gradient actually means "changes in field with respect to that field".
In short we can say that Laplacian represent curvature or stress of the field.
