Types of waves and its properties

Well so today lets discuss about the wave. Well what does it suggest? To know about the wave we first should know about the disturbance as the wave is related to it. The any change in the position of the body from the equilibrium is known as disturbance. The wave is applicable in all the field and is one of the pillar of the physics. The wave is defined as the form of the disturbance in which both the momentum as well as the energy is transferred simultaneously from the body when the body is in the periodic motion. The characteristics of the wave are as follows.
1.  It is a form of disturbance.
2.  The vibration in the later point is high than the previous one.
3.  The wave is originated from the center. And is move in all the direction.
       The velocity of the wave is divided as two types they are the wave velocity, particle velocity. Wave velocity is defined as the velocity that is possessed by the wave is wave velocity. It is constant. Similarly the velocity posses by the particle is known as the particle velocity. It varies accordingly. In this way the velocity of the wave is simply defined. Now lets discuss about the types of the waves so there are two types of the wave they are transverse wave and longitudinal wave.
The transverse wave is defined as the wave in which the vibration by the body is directly perpendicular to the centre of the flow of the wave . from here the body discharges the energy in the form of crest and trough. In where the crest is known to be the region to where the displacement is maximum in the upward direction.
The longitudinal wave is defined as the wave in which the vibration of the body is move in the to and fro direction. From there the energy flows in the form of compression and rarefraction and here the compression is defines as the point to where the density is more and similarly rarefaction is defined as the point to where the density is less.
    Hence in this way this wave and their types are discussed today. By the movement of wave we are having and realizing all the things.
