Scince physics (Waves)

Waves are one of the waves in which energy may be transferred between stores. Waves can be described as oscillations, or vibrations about a rest position. An example of this would be 

• Sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back and forth
• Ripples cause water particles to vibrate up and down 

The direction of these ocillations is the difference between longlitudinal or transverse waves.

• Longitudinal Waves: the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave travel  
• Transverse waves: the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave travel.

Mechanical waves cause oscillations of particles in a…
