Waves
are one of the ways
energy
is transferred between
stores.
Waves
can be described as
oscillations
or
vibrations
about a
rest position.
What is the difference between a longitudinal and transverse wave?
The
direction
of the
oscillations
relative to the
direction
of
energy transfer
/
wave travel
In transverse waves, the oscillations are perpendicular (at 90°) to the direction of energy transfer
In
longitudinal waves
, the
oscillations
are
parallel
to the
direction
of
energy transfer
What are two examples of
transverse waves
?
Name three examples of transverse waves?
All
electromagnetic waves
Ripples
and
waves
in
water
A
wave
on a
string
