What are waves??

Waves are a transferring energy from place to place.

What are wavefront

A wavefront is a line where all the vibrations are in phase and the same distance from the source

Types of waves

Waves come in two kinds, longitudinal and transverse

About transverse waves

a transverse wave is one that vibrates or oscillates, at right angles to the direction in which the energy or wave is moving.

About longitudinal waves

A longitudinal wave is one in which the vibrations, oscillations are along the direction in which the energy or wave is moving.

Wave equation



Speed = Wavelength • Frequency
v = f • λ
