Question

Explain the characteristics of three types of wave.​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three categories: Longitudinal wave *s - Movement of the particles are parallel to the motion of the energy. Sound waves moving through the air is an example of this type of wave. Transverse wave *s - movement of the particles are at right angles (perpendicular) to the motion of the energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Longitudinal wave - Movement of the particles are parallel to the motion of the energy. Sound waves moving through the air is an example of this type of wave.

• Transverse wave - movement of the particles are at right angles (perpendicular) to the motion of the energy. Movement of a wave through a solid object like a stretched rope or a trampoline is an example of this type of wave.

• Surface wave - particles travel in a circular motion. These waves occur at interfaces. Examples include waves in the ocean and ripples in a cup of water.
