Title: UNIT 5 WAVES
Course: 2024 Physics 3

Waves can propagate via different oscillation modes, such as transverse and longitudinal. Mechanical waves can be either transverse or longitudinal. Examples should include waves on a stretched string and sound waves. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. Transverse waves may be polarized.
