Longitudinal Waves
-
-

Mechanical Waves
Require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through.
Examples: sound, water waves, seismic waves.
Electromagnetic Waves
-
-
Examples: radio waves, microwaves, visible light, X-rays.
Wavelength
The distance between two identical points on a wave (e.g., crest to crest, trough to trough, or compression to compression).
-
Frequency
-
Measured in hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second.
-
Amplitude (A)
The maximum displacement from the wave’s rest position (height of the crest or depth of the trough).
