Answer:
1. There are two types of mechanical waves:
Longitudinal waves – In this type of wave, the movement of the particle are parallel to the motion of the energy i.e. the displacement of the medium is in the same direction to which the wave is moving. Example – Sound Waves, Pressure Waves.
2. Transverse waves – When the movement of the particles is at right angles or perpendicular to the motion of the energy, then this type of wave is known as Transverse wave. Light is an example of a transverse wave. Some of the other examples are – ‘Polarized’ waves & Electromagnetic waves.
3. Mechanical Wave
A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter and is responsible for the transfer of energy through a medium.
4. Water waves are an example of a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
Surface waves – In this type, the particles travel in a circular motion. These waves usually occur at interfaces. Waves in the ocean and ripples in a cup of water are examples of such waves
5. Electromagnetic Wave
Electromagnetic waves are created by a fusion of electric and magnetic fields. The light you see, the colours around you are visible because of electromagnetic waves.
