What to Focus On

  • A wave is a moving disturbance.
  • In a wave, energy is transferred, not matter as a whole.
  • Mechanical waves require a medium; they cannot travel through vacuum.

  • Transverse waves: oscillations perpendicular to propagation.
  • Longitudinal waves: oscillations parallel to propagation.
  • Transverse waves need shearing stress support.

  • Positive x-direction wave: y = a sin(kx - ωt + φ).
  • Negative x-direction wave: y = a sin(kx + ωt + φ).
  • Wavelength is the minimum distance between points in the same phase.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A wave carries matter from one place to another.

Sound can travel through vacuum because it is a wave.

Transverse waves can travel in any medium, including gases and liquids.
