Waves

Waves

1. There are two main types of waves: Longitudinal and Transverse

   • Transverse
     • These are Waves which the displacment is at right angles to the direction of the motion
       • Examples of transverse waves are water waves,light,xrays and sway
   • Longitudinal
     • These are Waves in which the displacement is along the direction of which the wave is travelling.

2. Sound and Vaccums

   • There is no sound in a vaccum because there is no particles to pass on a vibrations.
