Waves can be classified as either progressive or standing waves, with progressive waves transferring energy continuously in the direction of propagation without changing amplitude and standing waves forming stationary patterns. There are two main types of waves - transverse waves where the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such as water ripples and electromagnetic waves, and longitudinal waves where particle displacement is parallel, including sound waves, seismic waves, and elastic waves that propagate through solids. The document discusses the different types of waves and their applications in technologies like radio, television, communications, cooking, lighting, medical imaging, and more.

1. WAVES
Its types and its applications

2. WHAT ARE
WAVES?
A wave is a flow or transfer of energy in the form
of oscillation through a medium

3. PROGRESSIVE
WAVE
A wave which travels continuously in
a medium in the same direction
without a change in its amplitude is
called a travelling wave or a
progressive wave.

5. TYPES OF
WAVES

6. TRANSVERSE
WAVES
LONGITUDINAL
WAVES
longitudinal wave the particles
are displaced parallel to the
direction the wave travels.
transverse wave is a wave
whose oscillations are
perpendicular to the direction
of the wave's advance..

7. SOLUTION
Venus has a beautiful name and is
the second planet from the Sun. It’s
terribly hot, even hotter than
Mercury, and its atmosphere is
extremely poisonous. It’s the second-
brightest natural object

8. LONGITUDINAL WAVES
ELASTIC
WAVES
Waves propagate
through a body
ACCOUSTICS
That is sound waves(in air)
SEISMIC P
WAVES
Waves during
earthquake
Tsunami
waves
Are also longitudinal

9. Transverse waves
Seismic s
Secondary waves of
earthquake
ELECTROMAGNETIC
Light
waves,microwaves,etc.
are also said to
transverse
WATER
RIPPLES
RIPPLES FORMING ON
WATER ARE ALSO
TRANSVERSE IN
NATURE

10. APPLICATION
OF WAVES
Some of the examples are:
Radio waves - radio and
television
Microwaves - satellite
communications and cooking
food
Infrared - Electrical heaters,
cooking food and infrared
cameras
Visible light - Fibre optic
communications
Ultraviolet - Energy efficient lamps,
sun tanning
X-rays - Medical imaging and
treatments
Gamma rays - Medical imaging and
treatments
