Sure, in the context of JEE (Joint Entrance Examination), waves can be broadly categorized into mechanical and electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical Waves:

Transverse Waves: The particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Example: electromagnetic waves.
Longitudinal Waves: The particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Example: sound waves.
Electromagnetic Waves:

These waves do not require a medium for propagation and can travel through a vacuum.
Examples include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Sound Waves:

A type of longitudinal mechanical wave that requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) for propagation.
It involves the compression and rarefaction of particles in the medium.
Light Waves:

An example of transverse electromagnetic waves.
It consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation.
Standing Waves:

Formed by the interference of incident and reflected waves, leading to stationary points (nodes) and points with maximum displacement (antinodes).
Commonly seen in musical instruments and on strings.
Electromagnetic Spectrum:

The range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, from low-frequency radio waves to high-frequency gamma rays.
Surface Waves:

Waves that travel along the boundary between two different media, such as water waves or seismic waves.
Polarization:

The orientation of the oscillations of transverse waves in a specific direction.
Understanding these wave types is crucial for solving physics problems related to wave phenomena in the JEE exam.
