GCSE Physics - Intro to Waves - Longitudinal and Transverse Waves #61

The video tutorial covers the fundamental concepts of waves, including their properties, how they transfer energy, and the differences between transverse and longitudinal waves. It explains key terms such as amplitude, wavelength, and frequency, and provides equations for calculating wave speed. The tutorial also distinguishes between displacement-distance and displacement-time graphs, and demonstrates how to calculate frequency and time period. Finally, it highlights the differences in oscillation direction between transverse and longitudinal waves, providing examples of each type.

Describe the characteristics of transverse waves.

What distinguishes longitudinal waves from transverse waves?

Provide examples of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
