Waves O

Mechanical waves require a medium to transfer energy from one point to another, while electromagnetic waves can travel through both a medium or a vacuum. There are two main types of waves: transverse waves, where the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, and longitudinal waves, where the direction of vibration is parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of transverse waves include light and water waves, while examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.
