WAVES By Laurie Bianchi 4/24/03
A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through matter or space
Types of waves http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/wavetypes.htm
Water waves Water waves are a type of surface wave where two different media meet (example air and water) http://imagers.gsfc.nasa.gov/ems/waves.html
energy in motion In surface waves the particles move in a circular motion http://imagers.gsfc.nasa.gov/ems/waves.html

Types of waves Mechanical waves – need a medium to go through Electromagnetic waves – don’t need anything to travel through. http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/wavetypes.htm
Almost all waves are mechanical waves and require a medium to travel. http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/wavetypes.htm
Simple harmonic motion http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/spring.htm
A medium is matter through which a wave travels such as air or water. http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/wavetypes.htm
Wave shapes are either longitudinal or transverse http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/wavetypes.htm http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/waveType/waveType.html
Types of waves Transverse http://library.thinkquest.org/C005705/English/Waves/wavetypes.htm

Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic Waves do not need a medium to travel through. They can go through space.
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves with a variety of wavelengths and frequencies.

There is interference. It could be constructive or destructive. http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/waves/u10l3c.html http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/applets/fourier.html
