- general properties of waves..
- waves transfer energy.
- waves undergo a change of direction when they are refracted at an interface
- mechanical waves are either transverse or longitudinal
- waves maybe transverse or longitudnal
- longitudinal waves show areas of compression and rare-fraction.
- sound waves are longiitudinal
- mechanical waves are either transverse or longitudinal
- longitudinal waves show areas of compression and rare-fraction.
- electromagnetic waves form a continuous spectrum.
- all types of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through a vacuum(space).
- waves transfer energy.
