• **Wave transfers energy not matter**
|
||||
The movement of the disturbance through a medium due to repeated periodic motion of particles about their mean positions is known as a wave.

i. Mechanical Wave
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
MECHANICAL WAVE - *Periodic* disturbance which *requires material medium* (i.e. solid, liquid or gas) *for its propagation*.
|
||||
These waves are characterized by the motion of the particles of a medium.
|
||||
These waves have well defined characteristics.

ii. Electromagnetic Wave
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
Electromagnetic waves are a type of wave that can travel through the vacuum of space
|
||||
i.e they *don't require a material medium for propagation*.
|
||||
They are created by the *vibration of electric charges* and consist of *oscillating electric and magnetic fields* that are *perpendicular* to each other and to the direction of the wave's travel.

iii. Matter Wave
|
||||
In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons and photons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties—a concept known as wave-particle duality. Matter waves refer to the wave aspect of this duality.
|
||||
<caption>Matter Waves - Remark - Just as light can behave like both waves and individual particles, matter (ex. electrons) can also exhibit wave like behaviour under certain coditions.
|
||||
Physicist Louis de Broglie introduced the idea in 1924 that particles have their associated wavelengths.
