Want this question answered?
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
Condensation is the increase in density in a longitudinal wave, thus it signifies a high pressure area, which is higher energy, which is equated to the crest of a transverse wave.
sound
the speed at which the energy travels increases.
a wave is a phenomenon that transfers energy, not matter. there are 2 types of waves: transverse e.g. light and longitudinal e.g. sound, seismic im not that good at physics, but that's the best i can come up with, sorry ^^;;
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Depends on the amount of energy in the wave.
Longitudinal Wave,Transverse Wave,Orbital Wave
The energy travels parallel to the direction of the wave
Longitudinal Wave,Transverse Wave,Orbital Wave
The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.
Longitudinal wave
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.
Condensation is the increase in density in a longitudinal wave, thus it signifies a high pressure area, which is higher energy, which is equated to the crest of a transverse wave.
this kind of wave that includes compressional and rarefaction is called a longitudinal wave.
sound
Sound waves are longitudinal.
