1 Wave Motion a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium by means of a series of vibrations energy is transmitted by means of a wave, but the medium through which the wave is traveling does not move along with the wave all waves require a source and a medium of propagation Properties of Waves - Video

2 Transverse Wave a transverse wave is one in which the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave examples of a transverse wave are the fan wave at a stadium, moving a rope or slinky hard to the right or left, and light waves Movement of a Transverse Wave Waves on a string Applet

3 Longitudinal Wave a longitudinal wave is one in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves 6.2 Prac. #1-5 UC #1-5 Wave Motion Applet
