20 slides

Physics 7C

Compare characteristics and behaviors of transverse waves, including electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, and characteristics and behaviors of longitudinal waves, including sound waves.

Sound

• a longitudinal wave

• Needs a medium of particles to disturb

• Need a source to disturb the particles

• the particles compress and move away
