Waves
types of mechanical waves
causes it to vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
surface
travels along a surface separating two media
Transverse
causes medium to vibrate at right angles in the direction of the wave
electromagnetic waves
transverse waves consisting of changing electric waves and changing magnetic fields
Mechanical Waves
a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one pool to another
created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium
Properties of mechanical waves
frequency and period
wavelenght
wave speed
amplitude
difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves
electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibration of charged particles
mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport the energy through locations
