Transverse vs. Longitudinal Waves Two different motions to describe in a wave: – Motion of the wave's energy – Motion of individual molecules of the wave Transverse waves → Two motions are perpendicular – Waves on a string, water surface waves Longitudinal waves → Two motions are parallel – Sound waves Waves can have both transverse and longitudinal motion

Traveling waves Waves propagate from one place to another: From source to detector Sound from an instrument to ear Cell phone to cell tower and vice versa - E/M waves Water waves - a disturbance in the water moves outward. y(x,t)=y m sin(kx−ωt) A traveling wave can be represented as any function of kx-wt such that kx-wt is a constant.
