Are pressure waves longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves travel in a medium due to alternate compression & rarefactions ie. they travel due to variation in pressure.
What is the longitudinal waves that travel through a medium?
ANY wave travels through a medium. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the medium is space itself.Anyway, the description might refer to sound waves. However, in a solid, sound waves may also be transverse.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
Do longitudinal waves need a medium to transport energy?
Yes, for example sound is a longitudinal wave. It cannot travel in a vacuum.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What kind of waves can travel only through a medium?
Longitudinal
Where do longitudinal waves travel?
longitudinal waves definitely requires a medium(air,water,solid) in order to transmit it does not travel through vaccum
What 3 waves cannot travel through space?
Waves that rely on a medium may not travel through space. These would include longitudinal waves, shear waves, and sound waves.
Does a longitudinal wave need a medium?
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
Are pressure waves longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves travel in a medium due to alternate compression & rarefactions ie. they travel due to variation in pressure.
What is the longitudinal waves that travel through a medium?
ANY wave travels through a medium. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the medium is space itself.Anyway, the description might refer to sound waves. However, in a solid, sound waves may also be transverse.
Sound waves are waves?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
State 2 differences between transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
First and foremost is that rigidity is essential for transverse waves to travel through the medium. But in longitudinal it is not essential. So transverse waves cannot be propagated through gasses. Second, the vibrations of particles of the medium will be perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Whereas in the case of longitudinal waves, the vibrations are in the same direction as that of the wave propagation.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
How sound waves differ from light waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
Can sound travel through liquid medium in zero gravity?
Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave, transverse waves could not travel on the surface without gravity.
