Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
The movement of energy through substances longitudinal wave is what?
sound
Do longitudinal waves need a medium to transport energy?
Yes, for example sound is a longitudinal wave. It cannot travel in a vacuum.
What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
How is a sound wave different from a transverse wave?
A sound wave is not a transverse wave. Instead, it is a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves travel through their mediums via compressions and rarefactions. For example, sound travels in this fashion by compressing the air molecules in the surrounding area. Transverse waves, on the other hand, oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
What are the two sound waves that travel through the air?
Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
The movement of energy through substances longitudinal wave is what?
sound
Do longitudinal waves need a medium to transport energy?
Yes, for example sound is a longitudinal wave. It cannot travel in a vacuum.
What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Why a longitudinal wave can not be made to travel along a string?
Longitudinal waves travel on a string!

Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
What do sound waves travel as?
Longitudinal Wave
How does a longitudinal wave travel?
With the help of compressions and rarefactions longitudinal waves get propagated.
