Transverse and Longitudinal Waves 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsWavesGCSEAQA Created by: JessCreated on: 27-09-19 13:58 Transverse Waves The vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of the energy transfer. A spring wiggled side to side gives us a transverse wave. 1 of 5 Examples of Transverse Waves All electromagnetic waves, ripples and waves in water and a wave on a string 2 of 5 Longitudinal Waves They have parallel vibrations to the direction of enery transfer. 3 of 5 Examples of Longitudinal Waves Sound wave sin air and shock waves. 4 of 5 Equation that links wave speed, frequency and wavelength wave speed= wave length multiplied by frequency 5 of 5
