Learn about transverse and longitudinal waves through the examples of a rope and a sound wave. Explore the difference between a single wave pulse and periodic waves.

Mechanical waves require a medium like air, water, or a rope to travel through. On the other hand, light waves, which are a type of electromagnetic wave, don't need a medium. They can travel through the vacuum of space. Wave properties can also be represented as the brightness and color of light.
