Wavey World

Three interesting facts:

1. There are many different types of waves (X-rays, radio waves, gamma waves, etc.).


2. Some waves are longitudinal and some are transverse and some are both.


3. There are Electromagnetic waves, which don't need a surface to go through and Matter waves, that do.

Two facts i learned from a different source:

1. The waves that are both longitudinal and transverse are called surface waves.


2. When an wave enters a different medium the wave keeps going and bounces back.

Opinion:

I think that waves are very important and are important to read and learn about. When you learn something new about a topic you already learned about then it it a good thing to remember that so you can pass that knowledge along to some body else. this also goes to show that even if you think there is nothing else you can learn about a topic, there are new things being discovered everyday.
