It is a tranverse wave. hope this helps
A transverse wave
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
A Mexican wave is a physical phenomenon where people stand up and sit down in succession, creating a visible pattern moving around a stadium. It is not a wave in the physics sense; instead, it is a form of crowd participation and entertainment. There is no actual wave propagation like in transverse or compression waves.
compression
The crest of a transverse wave corresponds to the compression region in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the highest point of displacement or disturbance in their respective wave types.
In a transverse wave, the peak corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the regions of maximum energy transfer and particle displacement along their respective wave types.
A transverse wave is one where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like a wave on a string. A compression wave, or longitudinal wave, is where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves in air.
A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.
Yes, they are exactly analogous and corresponding.
In a compressional wave, the density of the medium varies periodically as the wave travels through it. This variation corresponds to the peaks and troughs in a transverse wave, where the denser regions represent the peaks of compression and the less dense regions represent the troughs of rarefaction. However, in a compressional wave, this density variation occurs in the same direction as the wave propagation, whereas in a transverse wave it occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
A crest in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the highest points of displacement in their respective wave types.
Water ripples? Mexican wave? xD
