WAVE
What are the three types of wave?
TRANSVERSE, LONGITUDINAL, SURFACE WAVE
IT IS A DISTURBANCE WHEREIN THE MOVEMENT OF THE PARTICLES IN THE MEDIUM IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE ADVANCE OF THE WAVE.
TRANSVERSE WAVE
IT IS A DISTURBANCE WHEREIN THE MOVEMENT OF THE PARTICLES IN THE MEDIUM IS PARALLEL TO THE ADVANCE OF THE WAVE.
LONGITUDINAL WAVE
IT IS A COMBINATION OF TRANSVERSE WAVES AND LONGITUDINAL WAVES. THE COMBINATION PRODUCES THE CIRCULAR MOTION.
SURFACE WAVE
WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF A WAVE?
CREST, TROUGH, WAVELENGTH, AMPLITUDE
TRUE OR FALSE: The distance between two consecutives crests or troughs is called a wavelength.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE: The lowest part of a wave is called crest.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
What are the two categories of waves based on its inabillity or ability to use a medium?
MECHANICAL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
________________ is the number of waves passing a point in 1 second.
FREQUENCY
The SI unit of Frequency.
