Explain wave (w.r.t. Physics)? Transverse wave? Electromagnetic mave? Give examples of wave? Explain in layman language (if possible).

Answer»

disturbance that travel in a medium, transporting ENERGY and momentum WITHOUT the flow of matter as a whole are called waves.

Sound waves, visible light waves, RADIO waves and waves on a string are few examples of waves.

\bigstar TRANSVERSE wave :

  • If the particles of medium vibrate PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the wave motion, the wave is called as transverse wave.
  • Example : wave of string of sitar/violin rods and water waves.

\bigstar Electromagnetic wave :

  • The waves which may not require medium for their propagation are known as Electromagnetic waves or non mechanical waves.
  • Example : X - rays, gamma rays, micro waves.
