  3. Information on Waves • Transverse Waves- Transverse waves are particles vibrate in an up and down motion. • Longitudinal- Longitudinal waves are particles that vibrate in a back and forth motion.

  4. Transverse Waves • Transverse waves are a wave that move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. • All electromagnetic waves are classified as transverse waves. • Good examples of a transverse wave is if you use a rope to create waves.

  5. Transverse waves have two parts to them. There is the crest which is the highest point of the wave, and the trough which is the lowest part of the wave. Also waves have wavelength which is the length measured between the crests. And amplitude which is the maximum distance the wave vibrates from its resting position.

  6. Longitudinal Waves • Longitudinal waves are waves that vibrate back and forth along the path the wave travels. • Longitudinal waves have refractions( when the waves are spread apart), and compressions (when waves are squished close together). • A good example of a Longitudinal wave is a slinky.

  7. Every time your talking to your best friend or listening to your favorite song on the radio your creating Longitudinal waves. These are created by the vibrating of waves. The sounds you hear are made by the refractions and compressions of the waves.
