Waves! Transverse, Longitudinal & Properties (JAMB PHYSICS)

What do sound, light, and a ripple in a pond have in common? They are all Waves! In this video, we are breaking down everything you need to know about wave motion for the JAMB 2026 syllabus. This is a massive topic because it builds the foundation for both Light and Sound. We are going to cover: Mechanical vs. Electromagnetic Waves: Which ones can travel through empty space? Transverse vs. Longitudinal: How to tell them apart using the "vibration direction" trick. The Wave Equation: Using v=fλ to solve CBT questions in seconds. Key Properties: Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction, and Interference. Polarization: The one property that only transverse waves have! I’ve focused strictly on the 2026 syllabus, especially the graphical questions that JAMB loves to use. Once you learn how to read a wave graph, these questions become easy marks! Quick Question: Is a sound wave a Transverse wave or a Longitudinal wave? Let me know your answer in the comments below! 👇 #JAMB2026 #UTME #Physics #Waves #Science #StudyTips
