Transverse+Waves

Directions:

CHOOSE two of the following web sites to review. When you have spent some time at the site, answer the following questions with one other person from your classroom experiment group. WRITE these down on a piece of notebook paper - neatly!! Turn them in and be sure thaat both of your names are on the sheet ﻿ ! They are due on Septemebr 17th.

1. Describe the motion of a transverse wave as a whole. 2. Describe the motion of a single point on a transverse wave. 3. Do surfers ride transverse waves? Why or why not?
