This allows them to carry energy. The quantity of energy carried relates to the amplitude of the wave. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate at right angles to the direction ...

These electrons are moving back and forth. Actually, the wave displayed in the activity is a representation of the back and forth movement of electrons. If the wave has a frequency of 200,000 Hz ...

sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back and forth; ripples cause water particles to vibrate up and down. A longitudinal wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are parallel to ...
