- Waves
- Transvers
- one wavelength
- crest and trough
- Amplitude
- vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
- Longitudinal
- One wavelength is from compression to other compression
- rarefaction
- compression
- Vibrations are parallel to directions of energy transfer
- EM, Electromagnetic Waves
- Radio Waves, Microwaves, infrared, visible light, Ultra Violet, x-rays, gamma rays
- shorter the wavelength = higher the frequency
- Decreasing wavelenght, increasing frequency, waves transfer more energy
- shorter the wavelength = higher the frequency
- EM Spectrum
- waves transfer energy
- reflected
- refracted (light changing direction)
- Diffracted (spread out)
- wave speed (m/s) = Frequency Hz x Wavelength M
- angle of incidence = angler of reflection
- travel at the same speed in a vacuum - empty space
- Transvers
