Waves

Waves

1. Transverse Waves

   • In Transverse waves the particles move up and down
     • Therefore energy is being passed through something like a slinky to cause the particles to move
       • Like this!!!!!

2. Longitudinal Waves

   • In Longitudinal waves the particles move from side to side
     • When the particles are all tightly packed together it is called a compression and when there are few particles it is called a rarefaction

3. Differences

   • The particles in Transverse waves move up and down wheareas in Longitudinal waves they move from side to side
