Surface Waves
Particles move PERPENDICULAR to the wave movement. (Ex: Electromagnetic Radiation such as Light)
Particles move PARALLEL to the wave movement in compressions (close together) and rarefactions (spread apart). (Ex: Sound)
Particles move around in a circle (Ex: Lake and Ocean waves)
- High Amplitude = More energy
- Higher Frequency = More energy
- Period (T) and frequency (f) are reciprocals
