Question

· 3 examples of waves - and
types of waves (slide 3)
· transverse - a type of wave that moves the medium at a (perpendicular) to the direction in which the wave travels
· longitudinal - a type of wave that displaces the particles of the medium to the direction in which the wave travels
transverse waves (slide 4)
· crest - the part of a transverse wave
· trough - the part of a transverse wave
· examples of transverse waves -
longitudinal waves (slide 5)
· compression - the location where the particles are together on a longitudinal wave
· rarefaction - the location where the particles are apart on a longitudinal wave

Explanation:

The problem is about types of waves (transverse and longitudinal) and their properties, which falls under Physics (a subfield of Natural Science). To answer the blanks:

• For "3 examples of waves", common examples are transverse, longitudinal, and surface (or electromagnetic, mechanical etc.).
• Transverse wave moves medium at a right angle (perpendicular) to wave travel.
• Longitudinal wave displaces particles parallel to wave travel.
• Crest is the highest part, trough is the lowest part of transverse wave.
• Compression has particles close together, rarefaction has them far apart in longitudinal waves.
• Examples of transverse waves: light waves, water waves, seismic S - waves.

Answer:

• 3 examples of waves: Transverse, Longitudinal, Surface (or Electromagnetic, Mechanical)
• Transverse - a type of wave that moves the medium at a right angle (perpendicular) to the direction in which the wave travels
• Longitudinal - a type of wave that displaces the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
• Crest - the highest part of a transverse wave
• Trough - the lowest part of a transverse wave
• Examples of Transverse Waves: Light Waves, Water Waves, Seismic S - Waves
• Compression - the location where the particles are close together on a longitudinal wave
• Rarefaction - the location where the particles are far apart on a longitudinal wave
