4.4.1- Wave motion
Flashcards do conjunto (7)
- 1Wavestransfer energy from one place to another without any net transfer of matter.
- 2Longitudinal wavea wave where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. e.g. sound waves
- 3—In a longitudinal wave, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer, resulting in the formation of compressions and rarefractions.
- 4Transverse wavea wave where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propogation. e.g. electromagnetic waves
- 5—Transverse waves transfer energy from one place to another, but here the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of energy transfer.
- 6Progressive wavesWaves that transfer energy away from a source.
- 7—All the particles oscillate vertically but they do not move forwards or backwards, even though the wave moves forwards.
