Types of waves ... This section of the site consists of the general types of waves: longitudinal and transverse waves. ... Waves appear in various forms such as water waves, light waves and sound waves. The basic definition of a wave is the displacement of energy propagating along a medium. If a boat is traveling through water,

Wave Types ... Waves can be placed in two groups, Longitudinal Waves and Transverse Waves. Waves fit in to these two groups based on how they transfer energy and what they are like. ... Longitudinal Waves have compressions and rarefactions, they must travel through matter (they cannot travel through a vacuum),

[edit] Two Types of Waves ... There are two additional types of waves. The first is called longitudinal waves and have the peaks and troughs in the same direction as the wave is moving. The question is how do we construct such a wave?

How waves work and what causes them. Theory and principles. ... waves and environment ... Waves travel effortlessly along the water's surface. This is made possible by small movements of the water molecules. This chapter looks at how the motion is brought about and how waves can change speed, frequency and depth.
