Class Response (Waves)

There are many types of waves including sound waves, water waves, and Heat waves. There are also many different types of waves.Two types of waves that some waves appear in are the longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal waves are visible if you push a slinky with force. You will see a part that are close together(compression) and when the parts of the slinky stretch apart is called rare fractions. Now in the transverse wave, you will need a coiled spring and shake it vertically. It will make a wave(similar to a water wave). In the transverse wave, the high point is called the crest and the low point is called the trough.

There are many ways to see a transverse wave like on a string or waves of an ocean.Also, transverse waves are sometimes invisible(like sound waves). As for solid objects, transverse waves can travel through them easily. Transverse waves move on the surface of liquids such as water, milk, soda and many more.Except for gas.As for logitudinal waves, a great example of longitudinal waves are sound waves because the waves move back and forth from person to person.
