- 1What are waves ?Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place without matter (solid, liquid or gas) being transferred.
- 2Transverse WavesLight and other types of electromagnetic radiation are transverse waves. Water waves and S waves (a type of seismic wave) are also transverse waves. In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of travel.
- 3Longitudinal wavesSound waves and waves in a stretched spring are longitudinal waves. P waves (a type of seismic wave) are also longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the vibrations are along the same direction as the direction of travel.
