A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
An example of a purely longitudinal wave is a?
Sound Wave
What is a longitude wave?
A longitudinal wave has divergent vibrations.
How do you think the wave from a loud sound compares to the wave from a soft sound?
The amplitude (The height of the wave) of the wave increases as the sound gets louder.
The crest of a transverse wave similar to what on a longitudinal wave?
compression
What happened to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
As amplitude increases, the particles in a longitudinal wave become denser.
How is the amplitude of a longitudinal waved measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
What the amplitude of a longitudinal wave?
Depends on the amount of energy in the wave.
What happens to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
the speed at which the energy travels increases.
Suppose a longitudinal wave has crowded compressions and loose rarefactions does it have a large or a small amplitude?
Small because it is in a tight spot which makes its size decrease
Is amplitude longitudinal?
Not necessarily. "Amplitude" gives you an idea about how "strong" a wave is; the concept applies both to longitudinal and to transverse waves.
What measures the amount of displacement in longitudinal wave?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
What is a wave described by?
Speed, direction, transverse or longitudinal, frequency and amplitude.
How do you measure amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
What does it mean when a wave has a large amplitude?
Bigger the amplitude, bigger the wave.
Sound is an example of a?
Longitudinal wave Which can be in turn interpreted as a transverse wave. It has frequency, amplitude, crests & through.
Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?
True
