Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Waves•means by which energy is transferred from one point to another
- 2Oscillation•a regularly repeating motion about a central value
- 3Electromagnetic Wave (EM)•waves that do not need a medium to travel
•can travel through space - 4Mechanical Wave•waves that require a material medium for travel/propagation
•e.g. sound, water, seismic waves - 5Progressive Wave (travelling waves)•there is a net transfer of energy
- 6Stationary Wave (standing waves)•there is no net transfer of energy
- 7Longitudinal Wave•particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave
•e.g. sound, p.seismic waves - 8Transverse Wave•particles vibrate perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of wave travel
•e.g. all electromagnetic spectrum waves, s.seismic, water waves
