Mechanical waves
 Require medium for their propagation
E.g.
 Water waves
 String waves
electromagnetic waves
 Do not require medium for their propagation
E.g.
 light waves
 heat waves
 X rays
Transverse

Longitudinal waves
Transverse waves
Particle of medium

propagation
Crests and Troughs
 Crests: points of maximum displacement on a wave
 Troughs: points of minimum displacement on a wave

Wave Properties
Reflection
 A straight barrier is placed at an angle along the incoming
waves?
Reflection

 Speed
 Frequency

Changes
 direction
Reflection
Incident ray

Angle of incidence Angle of
reflection
• The changing direction of a wave upon
impact with a barrier or object
refraction
 A piece of glass block is submerged at an angle to the
incoming water waves
bending of a wave as it passes from one type
of medium into another
Refraction
Diffraction
 The bending of a wave as it either passes by
a barrier
 spreading out of a wave as it passes through
an opening

Interference
 In most cases we end up with partial interference
creating a beat.
Stationary waves
Stationary Waves
 A stationary wave doesn’t appear to be travelling.
