Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
Are pressure waves longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves travel in a medium due to alternate compression & rarefactions ie. they travel due to variation in pressure.
Why a longitudinal wave can not be made to travel along a string?
Longitudinal waves travel on a string!
Waves that compress and expand in the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves.
What do sound waves travel as?
Longitudinal Wave
How does a longitudinal wave travel?
With the help of compressions and rarefactions longitudinal waves get propagated.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Matter vibrates in the same direction as these waves travel?
Longitudinal waves.
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.
How does longitudinal wave travel?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have the same direction of vibration along their direction of travel, which means that the vibration of the medium (particle) is in the same direction or opposite direction as the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves have been also referred to as compressional waves or compression waves
How are sound waves longitudinal?
Yes sound waves are longitudinal, rather than transverse, the oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
Which forms of matter can primary and secondary seismic waves travel through?
Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.
