What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
What is a cluster of connected skin boils called?
boils clustered together are called carbuncles
A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
What is the part of a longitudinal wave called when its close together?
It is called a compression.
Why is it called longitudinal waves?
Since the particles of the medium vibrate parallel (length wise) to the direction of propagation of the energy. HEnce the name longitudinal.
What is the part of the wave where the particles are closest together?
Assuming that you are referring to longitudinal waves, the area where particles are closest together would be called the "compression" area. The "rarefaction" is the opposite; this is where the medium is least dense. Sound is a good example of longitudinal waves. If you look closely at a speaker cone, you be able to see that they seem to move in and out very rapidly. This is what "pushes" and "pulls" the air molecules and creates compressions and rarefactions which our ears receive and transmit as a neural impulse to our brain, allowing us to hear. Although transverse and longitudinal waves are both different types of waves, they are dissimilar (particles in a transverse wave move perpendicular to the motion of the wave (up and down) where as particles in a longitudinal wave move in the direction the wave is traveling).
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
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.
What is a section of a longitudinal wave where the particles are less crowded than normal called?
its not a refraction its rarefaction
When a group of neurons that carry impulses from the CNS to effectors are clustered together they are called what?
Motor neurons.
A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion?
That is called a Longitudinal wave
