12 PHYSICS 6. Superposition of waves Wave motion:- The vibratory distribution in the particle of the medium is called wave . Various types of waves is being observed by us in our day to day life e.g. water waves , sound waves , light waves , mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves etc. Mechanical Waves:- Mechanical wave is a disturbance produced in an elastic medium due to periodic vibrations of particles of the medium about their respective mean positions. In mechanical waves energy, and momentum are transferred form one particle to another, there is no transfer of matter or particles of the medium in which the wave is travelling. Mechanical wave required material medium for their propagation. Mechanical waves are of two types i) Transverse and ii) Longitudinal Electromagnetic Waves :- Electromagnetic waves are those waves which do not require any material medium for their propagation. They a...
