1 www.thescienceteacher.co.ukwww.thescienceteacher.co.uk | resources for science teachers who like to think TopicTransverse and longitudinal waves LevelGCSE and Key Stage 3 (or any course for students aged 11- 16) Outcomes1.Students compare and contrast transverse and longitudinal waves

2 Transverse Longitudinal Put the words and drawings from the slide onto your Venn diagram.

3 Particles vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave moves. water waves waves on a rope Particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave moves. transfer of energy sound matter is not transferred electromagnetic radiation Mexican waveseismic waves Particles of the medium are temporarily displaced. medium slinky movement
