The medium moves parallel to the energy.
Longitudinal
The wave on the bottom has more energy because it has the greatest frequency.
The wave on the bottom has more energy because it has a shorter wavelength.
A wave pulse is different than a periodic wave because a wave pulse consists of a single disturbance of a medium instead of an oscillating (periodic) disturbance.
A periodic wave is different than a wave pulse because a periodic wave consists of a single disturbance of a medium instead of an oscillating (periodic) disturbance.
Both waves are transverse
Both waves are electromagnetic
Energy in transverse waves travels parallel to the motion of the medium.
