transverse wave
longitudinal wave formed due to compressions and rarefractions of media through which sound is propogating
density
rarefactions, which are regions of high and low pressure respectively. As the wave travels through a medium, these compressions and rarefactions propagate in a wave pattern, carrying energy from one point to another.
A sound wave contains compressions (areas of high pressure) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure). These variations in pressure create the wave pattern that carries sound energy through a medium, such as air or water.
Wavelength describes the distance between any two corresponding points in a wave, such as between two crests in a transverse wave or two rarefactions in a longitudinal wave.
Sound is a longitudinal wave. Hence, it travels through the air through compressions and rarefractions of molecules. This is also why it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Longitidinal waves travel in the form of compressions and rarefractions. the distance beteween 2 consecutive compressions or rarefractions gives the wavelength of the longitudinal wave. transverse wave travels in the form of a sinousidal wave, it has crests and troughs. the distance between 2 consecutive crests and troughs give the wavelength of a longitudinal wave.
A longitudinal wave. In case you don't know what that means, a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particle vibrate to and fro in a direction that is parallel to the direction in which the wave is travelling.
false
It is a type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
Every type of sound wave produced is a longitudinal wave.
