A Transverse Wave
no but the particles in a solid vibrate
It travels 2.28 metres.
If you are referring to specific particles that are different than the bulk, you are dealing with it being "dilute" or "diffuse" or "dispersed" or "scattered" In low pressure gasses, all particles are comparatively far apart.
when the particles of the medium are far apart, that part of the wave is called a?
I
A Transverse Wave
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
Ok
A rarefaction., in contrast to a compression.
Far apart.
high sound particles are near, and low sound as far apart particles.
no but the particles in a solid vibrate
Just had this lesson this afternoon, 06.23.2009. Longitudinal/compressional waves were drawn as a spring. The rarefaction is drawn as the expanded part of the spring and the compression as the compressed part.
It travels 2.28 metres.
