Learn how waves transfer energy from one place to another, the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves, and describe the parts of a wave.

Mechanical and electromagnetic waves, transverse and longitudinal waves, pulses and continuous waves are compared. Frequency, wavelength, period, and amplitude of waves are studied.

Jon Chase explores the different types of waves with the GB junior surf team. Relevant for teaching Physics at KS3 or KS4 and National 4/5.

Sound is propagated in the form of longitudinal waves. When sound travels from one medium to another, both its velocity and wavelength undergo changes.
