WaveAn oscillation that transfers energy and momentum.

Mechanical waveA disturbance of matter that travels along a medium. Examples include waves on a string, sound, and water waves.

Wave speedSpeed at which the wave disturbance moves. Depends only on the properties of the medium. Also called the propagation speed.

Transverse waveOscillations where particles are displaced perpendicular to the wave direction.

Longitudinal waveOscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.

In a transverse wave, perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, the particles are displaced. Examples of transverse waves include on a string vibrations and on the water surface ripples. By moving the slinky up and down vertically, we can create a horizontal transverse wave.

In a longitudinal wave, parallel to the direction the wave travels, the particles are displaced. Compressions that move along a slinky are an example of longitudinal waves. By pushing and pulling the slinky horizontally, we can make a horizontal longitudinal wave.

Common mistakes and misconceptions

Sometimes people forget that wave velocity is not the same as the velocity of the medium particles. How fast the disturbance travels through a medium is the wave speed. The velocity of the particle is how fast a particle moves about its position of equilibrium.

Answer from: Quest

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4

Asmall object with mass 0.200 kg swings back and forth on the lower end of a light rope that is 3.00 m long. the upper end of the rope is attached to the ceiling. as the object swings through its lowest position, where the rope is vertical, the speed of the object is 5.80 m/s. at this point in the motion, what is the tension in the rope? (use g = 9.80 m/s2.)
