Transverse and Longitudinal 1 of 9 What do waves transfer? Energy not matter 2 of 9 If a stone was dropped in a pond what would happen? Ripples would travel outwards carrying energy 3 of 9 What do the particles that make up a wave do? They oscillate about a fixed point 4 of 9 When energy moves along particles what remains? Matter 5 of 9 What's an example of a transverse wave? Light waves or Water waves 6 of 9 What direction are the oscillations in transverse waves? Perpendicular (right angles) to the direction of the energy transfer 7 of 9 What direction are the oscillations in a longitudinal wave? Parallel to the direction of the energy transfer 8 of 9 What is an example of a longitudinal wave? Sound waves 9 of 9
