Question

Explain wave (w.r.t. Physics)? Transverse wave? Electromagnetic mave? Give examples of wave?
Explain in layman language (if possible).

Answer 1

The disturbance that travel in a medium, transporting energy and momentum without the flow of matter as a whole are called waves.

Sound waves, visible light waves, radio waves and waves on a string are few examples of waves.

$\bigstar$ Transverse wave :

• If the particles of medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion, the wave is called as transverse wave.
• Example : wave of string of sitar/violin rods and water waves.

$\bigstar$ Electromagnetic wave :

• The waves which may not require medium for their propagation are known as Electromagnetic waves or non mechanical waves.
• Example : X - rays, gamma rays, micro waves.
