Wave Motion

-Waves are energy carriers.
-Energy can be transferred from one place to another by progressive or travelling waves.
-Waves that do not appear to move are called stationary or standing waves.
-There are two types of waves.
(a)Mechanical waves
-Waves transmitted through medium by particle vibrations.
(Example: Sound waves)
(b)Electromagnetic waves
-Waves transmitted through electromagnetic fields by oscillations of electric field and magnetic field.
(Example: Light)
