All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
transverse and longitudinal
Longitudinal waves are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, oscillations in springs, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
transverse and longitudinal
longitudinal wave
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.
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
Longitudinal waves are not transverse. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation instead of perpendicular to it like in transverse waves. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal.
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
