Question

what are wave and wave motion give examples ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. The animations below demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling.

example

A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum. Slinky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope waves are other examples of mechanical waves; each requires some medium in order to exist.

Answer 2

Answer:

wave and wave motion:-

Waves can take many forms, but there are two fundamental types of waves: "longitudinal" and "transverse" (see Figures 1 and 2). Both of these wave types are traveling disturbances, but they are different because of the way that they travel. As a wave travels through a medium, the particles that make up the medium are disturbed from their resting, or "equilibrium" positions. In a longitudinal wave, the particles are disturbed in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave propagates. A longitudinal wave consists of "compressions" and "rarefactions" where particles are bunched together and spread out, respectively (see Figure 1). For another view of this type of wave, take a look at the longitudinal wave video clip below. In a transverse wave, the particles are disturbed in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave propagates. The transverse wave video clip below provides a dynamic visualization of this type of wave. After either type of wave passes through a medium, the particles return to their equilibrium positions. Thus, waves travel through a medium with no net displacement of the particles in the medium.

Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves: The individual particles (air molecules) vibrate back and forth in the direction that the sound is traveling. An example of a transverse wave is the classic sports arena phenomenon known as "The Wave." As the wave travels around the stadium, each spectator stands up and sits down. Thus, the displacement of the "particles" is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Many other waves, such as ocean waves or Rayleigh Surface Waves are combinations of longitudinal and transverse wave motion.

Summary:-

Waves have been of interest to philosophers and scientists alike for thousands of years. This module introduces the history of wave theory and offers basic explanations of longitudinal and transverse waves. Wave periods are described in terms of amplitude and length. Wave motion and the concepts of wave speed and frequency are also explored.

Key Concepts :-

·The study of waves dates back to the ancient Greeks who observed how the vibrating strings of musical instruments would generate sound.

·While there are two fundamental types of waves - longitudinal and transverse - waves can take many forms (e.g., light, sound, and physical waves).

·Waves can be described by their exhibited properties: frequency, speed, amplitude, and wavelength.
