Waves

Waves

1. Electromagnetic waves

   • They are light waves, but they don't only include visible light. they come in all forms depending on how spread out the wave peaks are
     • Some examples: are the waves from the microwave, the light when you turn on a lamp, and the energy when you charge your phone.

2. Mechanical waves

   • The mechanical waves are all types of sound, including music and spoken language
     • The medium that they use is not only through solid or gas, it can also travel through solid

3. Types of waves: medium, no meduim, transverse, longitudinal, traveling and standing

4. Constructive is when the waves join together Destructive: is when the waves collide

5. Formula: E= 1/2 k A"2

6. Peak: Transverse wave highest point.

   • Trought: Is the bottom
     • Wave lenght: The lenght of the wave from left right
       • Amplitude: Is a measure of how tall a wave is above the center line
         • Frequency: The number of waves that pass from each second
           • Equilibrium line: The line in the middle
