What are the two types of waves?
Longitudinal
Transverse
What do all waves do?
Transfer energy from one place to another.
What is it called when a transverse wave moves up and down?
Oscillations
What is the main definition of transverse waves?
In transverse waves, the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
Explain compression in longitudinal waves:
This is when the air particles are close together.
What is the main definition of longitudinal waves?
In longitudinal waves, the oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer
