What is a wave?

•Let us look at a few questions below:

• What is a wave?
• What are the two different types of waves?
• Give example of each type of wave.

•Let us watch a video to answer the above questions: Waves

•Challenge: Differentiate between the two different types of waves.

Fix-It

What is a wave?
Waves transfer energy from one place to another without
transferring particles.
What are the two different types of waves?
1. Transverse
2. Longitudinal
Use purple colour to assess
Examples: your work and make fixes
3. Transverse - Light wherever needed.
4. Longitudinal- Sound Write SA once done.
What is a wave?
Waves transfer energy from one place to another without
transferring particles.
Transverse waves

Transverse waves have particles moving perpendicular (at

right angles) to the direction of motion.

Examples:
1. Light
2. Water waves
Longitudinal waves
Longitudinal waves have particles moving parallel (in the same direction) to the
direction of motion

Examples:
1. Sound
2. Primary waves produced by an earthquake
