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.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
Are the sound waves that travel to the ear for hearing transverse or longitudinal?
Sound waves that travel to the ear for hearing are longitudinal waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
In what waves do sound travel?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves.
Are sound waves in air transverse or longitudinal?
Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves, meaning that the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
What is an example of a longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are an example of Longitudinal waves. They are waves in which the particle is displaced in a parallel direction to the direction of velocity of the wave. They are formed by a compression and expansion of particles.sound is an example for longitudinal wavesound waveLongitudinal waves, also known as "l-waves", are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave.
What are compressional waves with particle motion in the same direction as wave propagation?
Those are called longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves in air are a common example of longitudinal waves.
