Waves are disturbances that carry energy through a medium or space. They can be categorized as mechanical (require a medium to travel through) or electromagnetic (can travel through a vacuum). Waves exhibit properties such as frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, and can be classified as transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of vibrations.
Ultraviolet (UV) waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light waves. They are not visible to the human eye but can cause sunburn and skin damage. UV waves are also used in sterilization, fluorescence, and to detect counterfeit money.
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves are examples of transverse waves. The displacement of particles in a transverse wave is described by a sine or cosine function.
Compressional waves are also known as longitudinal waves, where particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. These waves are characterized by the compression and rarefaction of the medium they travel through. Examples of compressional waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Waves are disturbances that carry energy through a medium or space without transferring matter. Waves can be categorized as mechanical (require a medium to travel through, like water waves) or electromagnetic (travel through a vacuum, like light waves).
Ultraviolet (UV) waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light. UV waves can cause sunburn and skin damage, but they are also used for disinfection and sterilization purposes.
they are waveeey =)
Transverse waves are perpendicular to wave motion.
Transverse waves are perpendicular to wave motion.
It is the longest wave in the electroagnetic spectrum.

Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum (EM), and are pure energy, they have no mass.
Waves are pulled by the moon which gives us high tide and low tide
speed: 5.5 km/second (fastest) arrival: first damage: felt as a jolt, little damage medium: travels through solids, liquids and gases movement: push and pull these are some basic facts on p-waves/primary waves

They are very small, hence the use of 'micro'
Radio waves travel at 186,000 miles per secondThey were discovered in 1865 by James Clerk Maxwell
