- 1What kind of waves are all em wavesTransverse wave
- 2Describe a transverse waveVibration is at right angles to the direction of travel
- 3Example of longitudinal waveSound
- 4Describe a longitudinal waveThe vibrations are along the direction of travel
- 5Describe a sound waveConsists of compressions and rare fractions of the medium it's travelling through
