WAVES

 **WAVES**

A **wave** is the result of energy being transferred from one object to another. This transfer often occurs between particles of matter when one particle begins to vibrate and it makes the one next to it vibrate. These particles are the atoms that make up any form of matter (liquid, solid, or gas) and are called **mediums**. One type of wave called **longitudinal waves** require these mediums to travel on. Some waves do not need any physical medium to travel on like the light traveling from the sun across space to warm the earth. Light waves are one example of **transverse wave**s that do not require any medium to travel on. During these assignments you will review the parts and types of waves and study the different interactions that occur between waves.
