1Transverse wavea wave where the direction of the vibration is perpendicular to the direction its traveling
2Longitudinal wavea wave where the direction of the vibration is parallel to the direction it is traveling
3Properties of a wave1. Reflection
2. Refraction
3. Interference
4. Diffraction
5. Polarisation
4Define- 1. Reflection 2. Refraction1. The bouncing of waves off of an obstacle.
2. The changing of direction of a wave when it enters a region with a different speed.
5Define- 3. Interference 4. Diffraction 5. Polarisation3. When the waves from 2 separate source s meet a new wave is formed. (constructive and destructive)
4. the sideways spreading of waves around an obstacle
5. reducing the wave to travel in one direction
6The Doppler EffectThe apparent change in the frequency of waves due to the motion of the source or the observer (f ')
