Earlier this summer I traveled to Vietnam along with a group of about sixteen fellow Iolani classmates. There we visited many important museums and were able to witness what it was like to live in Vietnam. In Vietnam, I took a great deal of pictures.
These pictures of the Vietnamese flag exhibits the idea of transverse waves as a flag moves in the breeze. The motion of the pulse of the wave creates a series of right angles in the direction of the wave speed, however, the flags motion moves in a transverse direction of the wave. These waves produce a disturbance that repeats regularly in space and time and is transmitted progressively from one place to another with no transport of matter, it is thus, a transport only of energy.
All waves can only be produced if there are vibrations, creating pulses through a medium which the energy is transfered through.
