Longitudinal and Transverse Waves - Explanation, Difference - Teachoo
What are longitudinal wavesIn this case, Individual particles of wave move in direction of propagation of wavesIn easy language, particles of medium move back and forth (left and right) making nearby particles of medium vibrateExampleIf we stretch a slinky, it moves left and right (in the direction
Types of Mechanical Waves: Longitudinal and Transverse Waves
Waves are a fundamental aspect of the physical world, occurring in various forms, from the waves in the ocean to the vibrations of sound in the air. A mechanical wave is one of the two primary categories of waves which require a medium to travel through. There are two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal and transverse waves. Understanding the characteristics and behaviours of these waves is essential to many areas of science and technology. This blog post will explore the characteristics…

Triangle Diagram With Speed
Waves are transferring energy from one point to another. The forms of energy, sound, and light are carried by waves. The property of a wave depends on the amount of energy being transferred. The higher the energy in the wave, the higher the frequency and the shorter waves with lower energy have low frequencies and longer wavelengths.
The Physics of Sound
This is a powerpoint I made for our reference. It contains the basic physics of sound - key words, how it travels, etc. It could also be used as the slide for the first lecture. -Julia I do not own the pictures used in these slides. Most of the information was taken from http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/sound/.
Types of Waves 1
This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Types of Waves 1, wave can pass through a series of vibrating objects which is damped harmonic motion- a vibration that fades out as energy is transferred from one object to another, travels through a medium a medium is needed for mechanical waves, Vibrations & Waves: most waves are caused by vibrating objects where mechanical energy of a vibrating mass-spring system changes form, transfers energy where energy is the…
Longitudinal Wave
Understanding Waves – Made Easy by Learning Den There are two main types of waves: Transverse waves (e.g. light): Particles move up and down Longitudinal waves (e.g. sound): Particles move back and forth Key wave properties: Amplitude: How far the wave moves from the rest position Wavelength: Distance of one full wave (crest to crest or trough to trough) Time Period (T): Time for one complete oscillation Frequency (f): Number of waves per second
Formula: f = 1/T These concepts are…
533K views · 4.3K reactions | Longitudinal Waves In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.These waves consist of compressions (where particles are close together) and rarefactions (where particles are spread apart).Examples include sound waves and seismic P-waves.These waves typically require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. Transverse Waves In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.They consist of crests (the highest points) and troughs (the lowest points).Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.Transverse waves can travel in solids and on the surface of liquids, and electromagnetic waves (like light) do not require a medium. Understanding the distinctions between these two wave types is crucial for studying wave dynamics in various physical systems. | Fadhel Mahdi

Planck Constant
The De-Broglie-wave 🌊 Matter waves are a central part of the theory of quantum mechanics, being half of wave–particle duality. At all scales where measurements have been practical, matter exhibits wave-like behavior. For example, a beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light or a water wave. The concept that matter behaves like a wave was proposed by French physicist Louis de Broglie (/dəˈbrɔɪ/) in 1924, and so matter waves are also known as de Broglie waves. The de…
