Exact answer of longitudinal stress?
I have never studied physics, but I will share my understanding of longitudinal stress.Everything has a tensile strength and a bond, whether fibrous or molecular, will fail in time if there is continuous pull on it in opposing directions. I will receive any feedback graciously and gratefully
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
Meaning of longitudinal?
There are multiple meanings. In geography, it refers to the lines of longitude (the lines that run N/S and measure E/W). In physics and mechanics, it means along the length of the object. For example, if you have a river, flow in the direction of the river (parallel) is longitudinal. Flow perpendicular to the river is transverse.
What is the medium of radiation?
No, only mechanical waves (transverse or longitudinal) require a medium. I learned this a few weeks ago in Physics 20
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
