vibration
- a repeated motion and produced by back and forth or up and down movement of an object.
Wave
- a traveling disturbance that carries energy from one place to another with or without a medium.
Medium
- a substance that carries the wave.
what are the two types of waves?
mechanical and electromagnetic
Wave
- according to presence of absence of a medium
mechanical
wave - it requires a medium to propagate
electromagnetic wave
- it does not require a wave to propagate
Three types of wave?
transverse
,
longitudinal
and
surface
wave
transverse wave
- a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction where the wave moves.
longitudinal wave
- a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction where the wave moves
surface wave
- a wave in which particle of the motion medium undergo a
circular
motion
frequency
- is the number of waves passing through a given point in one second
period
- is the time taken to generate one complete wave
