Maxwell's Equations forbid longitudinal waves because they are incorrect.
The proper equations do not forbid longitudinal waves,
X2E = [ (d2/dr2 - Del2) , 2d/dr Del][e, E] =
X2E= [ (d2/dr2 - Del2)e -2d/dr Del.E, (d2/dr2 - Del2)E + 2d/dr(Del e + DelxE) ]
The longitudinal wave is the scalar wave: (d2/dr2 - Del2)e - 2d/dr Del.E

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.
Is polarization possible for longitudinal waves?
polarization is not possible for longitudinal waves in electromagnetic waves electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and these two are perpendicular to direction of propagation so by using vertical or horizantal slits it is possible to polarize the electromagnetic waves where as in longitudinal waves the particles vibration is parllel to the direction of propagation so it is not possible to polarize the longitudinal waves
Waves that have compressions and rare fractions are called?
longitudinal waves.
Are S waves transverse or longitudinal?
s waves are transverse
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Example of longitudinal wave?
Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases
Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
