1 WHAT IS A WAVE? disturbance that transports energy through matter or space

2 CLASSIFYING WAVES Can it travel through a vacuum (space)? -Electromagnetic -Mechanical How does it move the particles it travels through? -Transverse -Longitudinal -Surface

3 CAN IT TRAVEL THROUGH A VACUUM?
Electromagnetic Wave – YES! oscillating electric and magnetic fields Mechanical Wave – NO! requires a medium

4 How does it move the particles it travels through? LONGITUDINAL
particles in move parallel to the wave

5 How does it move the particles it travels through? LONGITUDINAL

6 How does it move the particles it travels through? TRANSVERSE
particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves

7 How does it move the particles it travels through? TRANSVERSE

8 How does it move the particles it travels through? SURFACE WAVES
Particles move parallel and perpendicular in a circular motion Boundary between different mediums
