Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
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)
Who transverse waves are different from longitudinal waves?
A longitudinal wave is a "side-on" waveform. A transverse Wave is a "end-on" waveform.
What are the fastest types of siesmic waves?
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
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.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave

The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
What is an example of transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Is a longitudinal wave a mechanical wave?
yes, it is. But mechanical waves can be as well as non longitudinal!
