Waves
What are waves?
There are many different types of waves that we use in our daily life. We use sound waves to hear things and light waves to see things.
Waves carry energy in them, and mechanical waves need a medium to pass through while others don't.
Wave Interference
-
Destructive Interference
Destructive interference is when two waves meet and ruins the wave. The trough and peak would be opposite each other for this to happen.
Wavelength, Amplitude and Frequency
Sound
Sound can be measured by the wavelength, amplitude and frequency. Different wavelengths, frequencies and amplitudes can lead to different sounds.

Types of Waves
Mechanical waves
Seismic waves
Transverse waves
Longitudinal waves
Unlike transverse waves, longitudinal waves have the particles moving parallel to the wave.
Transverse waves move up and down and the medium's particle will move perpendicular to the wave's movement.
Seismic waves is the energy that is formed from the vibration of the Earth when earthquakes occur. These waves can only be found underground which makes it one of the mechanical waves.
Mechanical waves are waves that must pass through a medium like gas, liquid and solids. These waves are created when there are a disturbance and movement in things.
