Waves

1. Mechanical Waves

   • Transverse
     • Water
   • Longitudinal
     • Sound
   • Surface
     • Tidal Waves/Earthquakes

2. Electromagnetic Waves

   • Transverse
     • Light
       • Hits an obstacle that it cant go through or is absorbed by
         • Reflection
           • Light bounces off object=Angle of incidence=Angle of reflection
       • Energy is absorbed by an object
         • Absorbtion
       • Light hits a different object at an angle other than erpendicicular and speed changes
         • Refraction
           • light bends creating a broken image
       • Light hits an obstacle and travels around
         • Diffraction
