Waves
a wave is a moving vibration caused by a disturbance
- Longitudinal Wave
- Vibration of medium is parallel to the motion of wave
- Occurs with all substances, but more commonly observed with fluids IE an ocean wave
- Vibration of medium is parallel to the motion of wave
- Transverse Wave
- The vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
- Accociated with more rigid materials IE a rope moving back and forth
- Transverse waves die out the further they move from their source. These waves have speed
- When two transverse waves interfere with each other, they add to the peak when they meet, and then are unaffected after hitting each other
- Transverse waves die out the further they move from their source. These waves have speed
- Accociated with more rigid materials IE a rope moving back and forth
- The vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
