Waves and Energy Transmission
- A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.
- Media are what a wave travels through, examples include solids, liquids, and gasses.
- Transverse waves, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the movement of energy.
- Longitudinal waves, particles of the medium move parallel to the movement of energy.
- Electromagnetic waves can travel through matter or empty space.
- Mechanical waves, travel only through matter.
