No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
Sonic waves are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves where particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Sound waves are longitudinal.
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
Longitudinal Wave
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
This type of wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is classified as a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave is moving.
