1 Cover the cannula site with sterile transparent semipermeable occlusive dressing (e.g. Tegaderm, IV 3000) placed aseptically over the catheter. 2  If desired, place sterile tape over the hub and wings of the device before placing the transparent dressing.
Quick Answer. The difference between a long and short wavelength is the distance between two identical points on successive waves. Wavelength is also characteristic of the energy level of a particular wave, with shorter wavelengths being more energetic than longer ones. Continue Reading.
1 The difference between waves and regular matter moving around to transfer energy, is that a wave pulse starts in one spot and, except for a small amount of movement, the particles of the wave stay in one spot.ransverse waves are the waves that have the classical wave shape everyone thinks of when they imagine a wave. 1  Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the transverse wave itself is moving. 2  For example, if the wave is moving to the right, the particles of the medium are moving up and down.
