Waves
Definition: Rhytmic disturbances that carry energy without carrying matter
- Mechanical waves
- Definition: Waves that need matter or a medium to transfer energy.
- Matter used: Medium
- Types of medium: Air, water, gases, etc.
- Transverse waves
- Energy causes the matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
- Parts: Crest, trough, wavelength
- Energy causes the matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
- Compressional wave
- A mechanical wave in which matter in the medium moves forward and backward along the same direction that the wave travels
- Parts: Compression, rarefaction, wavelength
- A mechanical wave in which matter in the medium moves forward and backward along the same direction that the wave travels
- Transverse waves

- Definition: Waves that need matter or a medium to transfer energy.
- Electromagnetic waves
- Definition: They do not need a medium, but they can go through matter
- Considered as transverse waves because they have similar characteristics; therefore they have the same parts
- Parts: Wavelength
