Define the various

properties of waves
What are
Waves?
an energy transport phenomenon.
as a disturbance moves through a medium from one
particle to its adjacent particle, energy is being
transported from one end of the medium to the other.
In a slinky wave, a person imparts energy to the first
coil by doing work upon it.
a disturbance that propagates through a medium.
there are three words in that definition that may need
unpacking: disturbance, propagate, and medium.
Different Kinds of

Waves
Wave is a...
Disturbance
is a change from the current state of a
measurable quantity at some location

that

Propagates
transmit the influence of something in
a particular direction

through

Medium
substance through which a wave can
propagate
Classification of

Waves Mechanical Electromagnetic

Gravitational Matter
Waves Waves
Mechanical
Wave They require a material medium.
Sound is the most important example
of a mechanical wave. Sound waves
cannot travel through a vacuum.
Electromagnetic

Wave They propagate through the electric

and magnetic fields that are
everywhere in space. Light is the
most important example of an
electromagnetic wave for humans.
Gravitational
They propagate through the
Wave gravitational field that is everywhere
in space. Similar to electromagnetic
waves, gravitational waves can
propagate through matter or
empty space.
Matter They refer to the quantum
Wave mechanical description of fundamental
particles like electrons and quarks as
a wave. Each particle type has a
wave equation that describes a
particle field which can then be used
to generate wave functions for the
individual particles of that type.
