Waves ONE
Flashcards do conjunto (5)
- 1Progressive WaveAn oscillation that travels through matter/vacuum, transferring energy from one point to another
- 2What happens when a progressive wave moves through a medium?Particles in the medium move from their original equilibrium position to a new position. (WHEN WAVE PASSES AND NO MORE IS COMING, PARTICLES IN THE MEDIUM EXPERIENCE A 'RESTORING FORCE' MOVING BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITON)
- 3Longitudinal WaveOscillations parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
- 4Why are Longitudinal waves known as 'compressive waves'?When they travel through a medium, they create a series of compressions and rarefactions
- 5Transverse WaveOscillations perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer (ie. water waves, light waves, waves of a string, etc.)
