  • WAVES
    • Transverse
      • They have oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
      • Examples
        • Waves on the electro-magnetic sprectrum
        • Water ripples
        • Seismic s-waves
    • Longitudinal
      • They have oscillations that are parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
      • Examples
        • Sound waves
        • Seismic p-waves
    • The electro-magnetic spectrum
      • Types of waves
        • Radio Waves
        • Microwaves
        • Infrared radiation
        • Visible Light
        • Ultraviolet
        • X-rays
        • Gamma Rays
      • Their speed through a vacuum is 300,000,000 m/s
      • They do not need a medium to travel though
