Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
The desire for positive reinforcement.
Answer:
F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.
