Wave Motion

Motion wave

In Physics term wave motion is nothing but a process by which a disturbance at one point is propagated to another point more remote from the source with no net transport of the material of the medium itself. Waves can take many forms, but there are two fundamental types of waves: “longitudinal” and “transverse” Both of these wave-types are traveling disturbances, but they are different because of the way that they travel.

 When the particles of a medium vibrate in a direction at right angles to the direction of propagation of the disturbance through the medium, the waves set up in the medium are called  transverse waves.
When the particles of a medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of the disturbance through the medium, the waves set up in the medium are called longitudinal waves.Now let's learn something about types of motion  and parts of wave in this blog.
Look at the above figure first one is representing  Transverse Wave and second figure representing longitudinal waves.
