Wave Motion Flashcards
What’s wave motion
Wave motion is transfer of energy and momentum from one point of the medium to another point of the medium without actual transport of matter between two points
What is the type of waves?
1.mechanical waves
2.electromagnetic wave
3.matter waves
What’s the mechanical wave
Mechanical waves are a wave that is an oscillation of matter and is responsible for the transfer of energy through a medium. such as water or air.
What’s electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are created by a fusion of electric and magnetic fields. The light you see, the colours, around you are visible because of electromagnetic waves require no material medium and can travel through vacuum. Microwaves, X-ray, Radio waves and Ultraviolet waves
What’s description of matter waves?
Matter waves This concept is a little complicated to understand. The dual nature of matter; its ability to exist both as a particle and a wave was first brought to light by the founders of the field of Quantum Physics.
