What is Understanding Transverse Waves about?
Mechanical waves are disturbances that transfer energy through a medium without transferring mass. They can be transverse, where the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of travel, or longitudinal, where the disturbance is parallel. The speed of a transverse wave on a string depends on the tension in the string and the linear mass density. In a worked example, a string with a 200g mass hanging from it would have a wave speed of 28.0 m/s.
