Meaning
A wave is a vibration that transfers energy from one location to another.
About Waves
- Waves can transmit energy and information from one place to another.
- Waves travel through a medium that allows the vibration.
- There are two types of wave; transverse and longitudinal.
- In longitudinal waves the vibration is in the same direction as the energy transfer.
- In transverse waves the vibration is perpendicular to the direction as the energy transfer.
