Q
What are waves
A
Waves are a disturbance caused by an oscillating forces which transfers energy in the direction they are traveling, without transferring matter
3
Q
How are the oscillations for transverse waves
A
Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
4
Q
How are the oscillations for longitudinal waves
A
Oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer
