VIBRATIO
N
a repeated motion
and produced by a
back and forth or up
and down movement
of an object.
Vibration- a repeated mo
Waves-periodic disturbance that
moves away from a source and carries
energy with it.
Earthquake waves show us the amount of
energy carried by a wave.
Ears can
detect sound

Light from the sun has ultraviolet waves
MEDIUM
Is a substance through wave can
travel. It can be solid, a liquid or
gas.

LONGITUDINAL WAVES

SURFACE WAVES
Transverse
waves
Vibrate perpendicularly
to the direction in which
the waves travel.
This wave exhibits up
and down motion.
Longitudinal
waves

Vibrate parallel or
back and forth to the
direction in which the
waves travel.
Surface waves
Are combination of
transverse and
longitudinal waves.
These move in a
circular pattern as the
waves pass by.
Types of wave according to
propagation

• MECHANICAL WAVE
• ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
Crest- highest
point of wave
Trough- lowest
point of wave
Line of origin-
signifies the
original position
of the medium
Wavelength-
distance
between two
consecutive crest
Amplitude-
distance from the
line of origin to a
crest or trough of
a wave`
Compression- are
regions of high
pressure due to
particles being
close together.
Rarefractions-
regions of high
pressure due to
particles being
close together
