Wave behaviour

Wave behaviour

Waves transfer energy

Waves are classified according to shape

longitudinal.

travel parallel to the motion direction

In form of Compression and Rarefaction

Transverse

travel perpendicular to the motion direction

In form of Crest and trough

Waves classified according to media

Waves need media to travel

Mechanical waves

waves travel in media and vacuum

Electromagnetic waves
