2. WAVE MOTION
“Wave motion is the propagation of disturbance
from the point of a medium to other parts of it. “

3. Types of Waves
i. Transverse wave
ii. Longitudinal wave

4. Transverse wave
A transverse wave is a wave in
which the particles of the medium
vibrate perpendicular to the
direction of propagation of the
wave

5. Longitudinal wave
A longitudinal wave is a wave in
which the particles of the medium
vibrate in a direction parallel to the
direction of propagation of the
wave.

6. Difference b/w Transverse wave &
Longitudinal wave.
 Transverse wave
It can be formed in
solids & liquids.
Examples;
Electromagnetic
waves.
I. Light.
II. Ultra violet
 Longitudinal
wave
It can be formed in
solid, liquid &
gases.
Examples;
Sound waves.
