Explain wave (w.r.t. Physics)? Transverse wave? Electromagnetic mave? Give examples of wave?Explain in layman language (if possible).

Answer»

The disturbance that travel in a medium, transporting energy and momentum without the flow of matter as a whole are called waves.

Sound waves, VISIBLE LIGHT waves, radio waves and waves on a STRING are few examples of waves.

\bigstar Transverse wave :

  • If the particles of medium VIBRATE perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion, the wave is called as transverse wave.
  • Example : wave of string of sitar/violin rods and water waves.

\bigstar Electromagnetic wave :

  • The waves which may not REQUIRE medium for their propagation are known as Electromagnetic waves or non mechanical waves.
  • Example : X - rays, gamma rays, micro waves.
