Unit 5 lesson 1 Waves And Light Flashcards
Medium
Is the material through which a wave travels
Particles move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave travels
Transverse wave
Ad disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
Wave
Transverse wave
Particles move perpendicularly to the direction that wave travels
Disturbances in the electric and magnetic fields
Electromagnetic waves
Waves that require a medium
Mechanical wave
Longitudinal wave
Particles move back and for thin the same direction that the wave travels
Electro magnetic waves
Are disturbances in electric and magnetic fields
Mechanical waves
Are waves that require a medium
Wave
a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
Is the material in which the wave travels through
Medium
Particles that move back and forth in the same way the the wave travels
Longitudinal wave
