Energy moves forward in a wave.
the upper part of the wave moves faster
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
A wave that represents the direction in the direction the wave moves.
The energy in the wave .
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.
Energy moves forward in a wave.
the upper part of the wave moves faster
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
The fastest seismic wave that also moves back and forth is the P-wave.
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
Compression wave
A wave that represents the direction in the direction the wave moves.
The energy in the wave .
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
