Document Summary

Waves looking at the collective movement of many individual particles travelling waves organized disturbance at same speed mediums substance in which wave moves single particles do not move only oscillate up and down package of energy that from. R propagate unaffected some energy is absorbed energy. Waves mechanical waves travel in a medium electromagnetic waves self sustaining oscillation of the electromagnetic field matter waves wave-like characteristics. Transverse wave quantum physics material particles may have displacement is perpendicular to the direction in. Longitudinal waves displacement is parallel to the direction in which the wave travels particles move back and. Forth compression regions density and pressure of the air is higher than the average density and pressure. "s displacement as a function of position at a single instant in time. Graph wave is displacement as a function of time at a single position. Electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum constant speed.
