Waves

Waves

1. Mechanical Wave

   • A wave that is an oscillation of matter and therefore transfers energy through a medium

2. Electromagnetic Wave

   • Waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field

3. Pulse Wave

   • Non-sinusodial wave that includes square waves

4. Periodic Wave

   • A wave with a repeating continous pattern

5. Transversal Wave

   • A moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the waves.
