Electromagnetic Waves Properties

Question 1

What are the two types of waves?

Answer 1

Longitudinal and transverse

Question 2

What are the features of a transverse wave?

Answer 2

1) Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
2) Each particle vibrates up and down. They do not move

Question 3

Example of where we can see transverse waves?

Answer 3

Guitar

Question 4

Features of longitudinal waves?

Answer 4

1) Oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer
2) Each particle vibrates left and right

Question 5

Example of longitudinal waves?

Answer 5

Sound waves

Question 6

Do particles move from one plane to another?

Answer 6

Waves transfer energy from one point to another without transferring matter
