To identify the different parts of a wave. To be able to understand the different graphs used for waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are perpendicular (at right ...
The slinky can be shaken to produce longitudinal and transverse waves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and earthquake p-waves. Examples of transverse waves include EM waves, water ...
A TECHNIQUE for finding longitudinal wave velocities in solids has already been described 1; velocities of transverse waves can be determined with the same apparatus.
