#1.) Which type of wave is this? Transverse Longitudinal Both Neither #2.) Which type of wave is this? Transverse Longitudinal Both Neither #3.) Sort the characteristics under each type of wave. Transverse Waves Also called electromagnetic waves Movement is up and down An example is light Travel perpendicular to the medium Can travel through a medium or a vaccuum Longitudinal Waves Also called mechanical or compression waves Movement is back and forth An example is sound Travel parallel to the medium Can only travel through a medium #7) How many waves are in this picture? 3 4 4.5 8 Using the infograph above fill in the following blanks using the word bank provided. There are two main types of waves. The type that requires a medium to pass through is called a Mechanical Wave. There are two types of mechanical waves. One of these includes sound waves and are known as Longitudinal waves. The other type of Mechanical wave that includes water waves is known as Transverse waves.The type of wave that does not require a medium to travel through is called an Electromagnetic Wave. Examples of Electromagnetic waves includes light, Microwave, infrared, x-rays, ultraviolet, and Radio waves.
