types of waves

types of waves

1. transverse waves

   • is a wave that vibrates in perpendicular to the direction in wich the wave moves
     • the transverse waves wave a hight and a lowest point
       • crest is the highest point
       • trough the lowest point

2. Longitudional waves

   • the longitudional waves are waves that move back and foward in the same direction or parallel to the wave
     • also this wave have two movements
       • the compression is the are where the coils are closed
       • rarefactionis when the coils are open

3. surface waves

   • the surface waves are combination of transverse waves and longitudional waves also this wave travel along surface that separates two mediums
