Transverse and longitudinal waves. Kola super deep borehole, a covering over the deepest hole humans have ever dug. The soviets did this in the 1970s. They got around 40,000 ft Below surface of earth and it got incredibly hot so they couldn't keep drilling. But it's really deep. Now if we look at the earth, it is barely scratching crust. Now you may be thinking, how do we know what the inside of the earth looks like. Since we have only been able to dig a little bit into the crust. We can figure out the inside of the earth looks like thanks to waves and I'm talking about seismic waves. These are the waves produced through earthquakes, which some of those are transverse waves and some of those are longitudinal waves. Transverse waves are the waves where the oscillations are perpendicular to the motion of the wave and those ones, like all waves, cannot make it through the solid inner core, but also cannot make it through this liquid outer core. Longitudinal waves, their oscillations are in the direction of motion, can still move their way through. Looking at those waves on the other side of the earth to figure out what the inside of the earth looks like. Waves are the transfer of energy through disturbances or oscillations and they come in two forms: transverse and longitudnal. Longitudinal waves are when the oscillations are in the same direction or parallel to the propagation or the movement of the wave itself. For longitudnal, it has lighter spots and darker pots. Transverse waves, where the motion is left to right but the oscillation is going to be perpendicular to that. Transverse waves are the up and down motion Transverse and longitude waves cna be mechanical waves.
Mechanical waves are the seismic waves in the earth and they require a medium. The medium is something that is allows it to go through. They could be longitudinal or transverse. However, the electromagnetic waves like the light you are receiving right now, is a transverse wave. And only transverse. It doesn't require a medium for it to move through. It can move through a medium like how it's right I'm moving through the air. Transverse waves can be polarized, so we can use thin slits to only let certain transverse waves through. Energy can be moved from point a to point B in two ways. It can be a particle where you simply fire a particle from a to b, where you move b. And we can also use a medium, and at point a we can make oscillations which would generate waves to point B which would make it float away and move it. So we are transferring energy from one point to another but there's no particle that makes it there. So energy can be transferred in two ways, through particles or waves. The waves could be either mechanical or electrical magnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves move through no medium, they don't need a medium. They can move Through space where there is nothing. So if you were to see an explosion in space, you couldn't hear it because there is no medium for those mechanical sound waves to reach you. But you can only see it. The two types of waves are longitudinal, and these are the waves were the oscillation or the disturbance is in the direction that the wave is moving. So if the wave is moving left to right, you will also have the oscillations moving from left to right. These can be pressure waves or sound waves like these are the examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves are the waves that I am hearing right now, I am vibrating The air, which is vibrating The microphone, which is vibrating my speaker, which is vibrating the air near me and I can hear that. But everything is in the same direction. For the simulation, this is meant to stimulate an example of an longitude no wave, the green particles as they move back-and-forth is transferring energy from left to right. The particles are moving in the direction the wave is moving in. For transverse waves, I always think of the T in transverse going to be perpendicular to the motion. The propagation or the movement of the wave is from left to right, but the oscillation is up and down. Example is a rope wave, were you attach a rope to a wall and simply oscillate it, or light can be an example of a transverse wave. So if we have a rope wave, which is moving left to right, but the oscillation is up and down. But the interesting thing is that the rope is not moving, it is the energy that is moving from one spot to another. So it's not like the air is moving, is that the energy that is moving through the air itself. Transverse waves can come in many different directions, and since it is perpendicular to the direction of the motion, we can have a grid or a slit or some kind of a filter, that will only let the transverse waves go in one direction through. This is how polarized sunglasses work. This is an image with the car mirror, where you have no polarizer on the bottom, and so we are getting light in all directions, but when we are using a polarizing lens on the top, we could see the photographer on the inside because because the light is only coming out through the car itself. Transverse and longitudinal waves Longsitdnal waves travel parallel to direction of motion (has higher pressures) Transverse: waves travel perpendicular to the direction of motion. Polarizing. Identify patterns that indicate that a particular mechanical wave is polarized. Mechanical waves are the waves we find in ocean, and sound as they are all mechanical waves.

Did not understand
Since the speed is greatest near the ground, sound waves bend upward, causing the audio to be just out of ears reach. During the night our atmosphere ends up producing a temperature inversion. This means temperatures increase with height. technology used including; Absorbers, Attenuators, Oscillation water columns, overtopping and Inverted- Pendulum device.

Light waves are created how?
The components (electric and magnetic fields) of a light wave oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
What determines wave distance?
The distance of the wave's propagation is limited by the medium of transmission. In this case, the oscillating material moves about a fixed point, and there is very little translational motion. One intriguing property of mechanical waves is the way they are measured, which is given by displacement divided by the wavelength. When this dimensionless factor is 1, it generates harmonic effects; for example, waves break on the beach when this factor exceeds 1, resulting in turbulence.

What determines the speed of mechanical waves
The speed at which a mechanical wave moves is related to how closely the particles of matter are packed together.
Types of wave motions and what arr they and what wave they for
There are three general types of mechanical waves: - Transverse - particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. - Longitudinal - particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. - Combined - sea waves.

This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light.
Mechanical transverse waves: describe how medium works
Transverse: medium pieces move perpendicular to wave motion.
A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum. Slinky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope waves are other examples of mechanical waves; each requires some medium in order to exist. A slinky wave requires the coils of the slinky; a water wave requires water; a stadium wave requires fans in a stadium; and a jump rope wave requires a jump rope. The major difference between a mechanical and a non-mechanical waves (also known as Electromagnetic waves) is that, the first one needs material medium to travel. The non-mechanical waves travel even in vacuum, Sunlight is an example of an electromagnetic wave which travels through a vacuum to reach the Earth's surface. Sound waves is a common example of a mechanical wave, which needs material mediums like solid, liquid or gas to travel from one end to the other end.
Types of waves different types of mechanical waves. Explain what electromagnetic waves are. As previously discussed there are three primary categories of waves: mechanical, electromagnetic, and matter. Some more details on mechanical and electromagnetic waves will be discussed on this page. As a reminder, the big difference between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves is that mechanical waves are disturbances that travel in a medium while electromagnetic waves do not require medium (they can travel in a vacuum!). While mechanical waves cause a disturbance in a medium, they do not transport matter as they travel. They only transport energy. Within the category of mechanical waves there are 3 primary types: transverse,longitudinal, and surface Transverse: Imagine you have a long string. You tie one end to a tree and hold the other end so the string is under tension. You then move the end of the string you're holding up and down and you see this movement travel down the string towards the tree. In doing so, you're causing a displacement of the medium (the string) that is perpendicular/transverse to the direction of travel. In other words, you're causing a transverse wave! Longitudinal waves Longitudinal waves also called compression waves and pressure waves. In longitudinal waves the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave travels. To visualize this, imagine liquid in a tube with a plunger or piston at one end of the tube and a rigid wall at the other end. When you push on the piston you're causing displacement and pressure fluctuations in the liquid (the medium) that travel down the tube. Another way to visualize this is Surface waves Surface wavesSurface Waves - See Rayleigh wave. travel along the interface between two different mediums. Some examples are ocean waves or seismic waves that often occur as a result of an earthquake. In surface waves the molecules of the medium undergo circular motion and are therefore neither transverse nor longitudinal. However, they can be described as having transverse and longitudinal components. Ground waves are an electromagnetic version of surface waves, but are beyond the scope of this material. Em waves In the electricity and magnetism modules we discussed electric fields and magnetic fields, respectively. We also briefly discussed how a changing magnetic field can produce an electric field and vice versa. It is these linked changing electric and magnetic fields that form electromagnetic (EM) waves. As previously mentioned, these waves do not require a medium to travel. This means that while they can travel through a medium like air or a wall, they can also travel through a vacuum like outer space. Electromagnetic waves are used a lot in communications systems, such as those used to talk to satellites in space. It should be noted that electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic radiation refer to the same phenomenon. One defining characteristic of an electromagnetic wave is its frequency, which is related to its wavelength and its energy. These concepts will be discussed more in a following page. The electromagnetic spectrum , which encompasses the full range of frequencies electromagnetic waves can have The three main types of mechanical waves are transverse, mechanical, and surface. Mechanical waves only transport energy as they travel. They do not transport matter. Electromagnetic waves are formed from linked changing electric and magnetic fields. https://www.nde-ed.org/Physics/Waves/characterradiation.xhtml
