waves can be produced by an oscillating system only

• true

• false

do wave transfer energy and matter between two points

• yes

• no

propagation of wave

• wave profile

• progressive wave

• stationary waves

• transverse wave

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

_______ wave where the profile of the wave does not propagate with time

• wave profile

• progressive wave

• stationary wave

wave can be classified into two...mechanical and electromagnetic wave

• yes

• no

types of progressive wave

• electromagnetic wave

• mechanical wave

• transverse wave

• longitudinal wave

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

particle of the medium vibrate in the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

• transverse wave

• longitudinal wave

particle of the medium vibrate in the direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave

• transverse wave

• longitudinal wave

example of longitudinal wave

• sound wave

• radio waves

• light wave

• water wave

requires a medium to transfer energy from one point to another

• mechanical wave

• electromagnetic wave
