- 1What waves can be used forWaves can be used to transfer energy and information
- 2What transverse waves areTransverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer of the waves. Ripples on the surface of water are transverse waves. So are all electromagnetic waves.
- 3What longitudinal waves areLongitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer of the waves. Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves.
- 4What types of waves are transverse and which are longitudinalMechanical waves need a medium (a substance) to travel through. They can be transverse or longitudinal waves.
