Waves

1. What is a wave

   • A wave is an oscillation from one place too another and transfer energy
     • An oscillation is a repeated pattern of movement

2. Types of waves

   • Transverse
     • The oscillations are at a perpendicular direction to the energy transfer
     • Diagram for Transverse wave
   • Longitudinal
     • The oscillations are paralel to the direction of energy transfer
     • Diagram for Longitudanal

3. Describing a Wave

   • a= amplitude w= wavelength

4. Wave speed?

   • speed= distance/ time

5. Refraction
