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.
because they are long and for a fact they are also calley traverse waves......I THINK???
answ2. Because as they pass a given point, their intensity changes. As distinct from pressure waves.
Longitudinal waves from an earthquake are the ones that do the damage, as they ripple the ground surface thus shaking the buildings and bridges.
because they travel a long way and as the farther you speak the more they spread out to a greater distance
Definitely ultrasonic wave is longitudinal in nature. But the frequency is beyond human's hearing range. The frequency is higher than 25 kHz
Because sound is energy which moves as pulses of high and low pressure zones unlike light which moves in oscillations like a sine wave
Sound waves in air are longitudinal because the motion of sound waves is in a parallel direction to that of the direction of energy transport.
yes it can...
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal waves are the type of waves in which the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This means that the oscillation of the particles is parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
This type of wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Rarefaction.
they are called compressions

Longitudinal waves are the type of waves in which the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This means that the oscillation of the particles is parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
There are no waves that are specifically called "volcanic waves"; however, a volcanic eruption can of course cause seismic waves. These can be longitudinal or transverse.
Yes, there is another name for longitudinal waves which is 'Elastic Waves'. These waves have the same direction of vibration, as their direction of travel. These waves consist of Compressions and Rarefractions. Mechanically they are also called as Compression waves.

Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
Rarefaction.
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
they are called compressions
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
