Question

1. What are the different types of waves? Give examples of each type.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

1) There are two main types of waves;

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves usually require a medium for propagation, e.g sound, waves on a spiral spring, etc

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for propagation e.g microwaves, x-rays etc

2) The phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media because of the change in the speed of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.
