Waves
© The motion of the

The wave is neither a ‘Physical body’ travelling in the medium nor medium Particles are moving

Non-mechanical waves : The waves which do not require any elastic medium [even propagate in
the medium] and also propagate in the free space are called non mechanical waves [They are also
known as electro magnetic waves}
Transverse waves : The waves in which the oscillations of the pai
perpendicular to the direction of propagation are called transverse waves.
Longitudinal waves : The waves in which the oscillations of the particles are in the direction of
propagation of the wave are called longitudinal waves.
