This document discusses transverse and longitudinal waves. It defines key terms like amplitude, crest, and trough for transverse waves and compression and rarefaction for longitudinal waves. It notes that transverse waves can travel through empty space while longitudinal waves require a medium. Videos are linked to demonstrate both wave types and their differences in how energy travels - perpendicular for transverse waves and parallel for longitudinal waves. Characteristics of each wave type are summarized.

- 14. Exit Ticket: How do the characteristics of transverse waves and longitudinal waves compare
- 15. Answer: Both waves transmit energy. – Transverse waves can travel through empty space or a medium while longitudinal waves require a medium to transfer. – In a Transverse Wave the energy travels perpendicularly to the wave – In a Longitudinal Wave the energy travels parallel to the wave
- 17. Essential Learnings Transverse Waves – Energy travels perpendicular to the wave – Do not require a medium – Amplitude is the distance from the rest position to the crest or trough of the wave. – Light travels in Transverse Waves
- 18. Essential Learnings Longitudinal Waves – Energy travels parallel to the wave – The portion of this wave where it is crowded together is called the compression – The portion where the space between compressions is greatest is called the rarefaction.
- 19. Essential Learnings Longitudinal Waves – Requires a medium – Wavelength is the distance from one compression to the next compression of the wave. – Sound being produced by vibrations travels in Longitudinal Waves
