===About Waves===
−
:
+
: [[Wave]]s can transmit [[energy]] and information from one place to another.
 +
: [[Wave]]s travel through a [[medium]] that allows the [[vibration]].
 +
When a [[wave]] meets a boundary between two [[material]]s it can be:
 +
*[[Absorb (physics)|Absorbed]] - The [[wave]] disappears and the new material gains [[energy]] from the [[wave]].
 +
*[[Reflection|Reflected]] - The [[wave]] bounces off the new [[material]].
 +
*[[Refraction|Refracted]] - The [[wave]] enters the new [[medium]] changing direction as it does.
 +
: There are two types of [[wave]]; [[Transverse Wave|transverse]] and [[Longitudinal Wave|longitudinal]].
 +
: In [[Longitudinal Wave|longitudinal waves]] the [[vibration]] is in the same direction as the [[Energy Transfer|energy transfer]].
 +
: In [[Transverse Wave|transverse waves]] the [[vibration]] is [[perpendicular]] to the direction as the [[Energy Transfer|energy transfer]].

Key Stage 3

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.

When a wave meets a boundary between two materials it can be:

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.

Examples

Transverse Wave Longitudinal Wave
 
 
This is a transverse wave on a string where the vibration is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. This is a longitudinal wave on a string where the vibration is parallel to the motion of the wave.
Water Waves
 
A water wave appears as a transverse from the surface.
Sound Waves
 
Sound waves are longitudinal waves of compression.
Light Waves
 
Light waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse with the vibration at right angles to the motion of the wave.
