In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
What else can I help you with?
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.
What occurs as energy is transferred through a wave?
They move up and down, but do not move forward (NJASK8 Earth Science)
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a?
Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.
In what direction does a longitudinal wave move and how does this movement differ from that of a transverse wave?
A longitudinal wave moves in the same direction as the wave energy, while a transverse wave moves perpendicular to the wave energy. This means that the particles in a longitudinal wave move back and forth parallel to the wave direction, while the particles in a transverse wave move up and down perpendicular to the wave direction.
What are the differences between longitudinal waves and transverse waves?
Longitudinal waves move in the same direction as the wave energy, with particles vibrating parallel to the wave motion. Transverse waves move perpendicular to the wave energy, with particles vibrating perpendicular to the wave motion.
How do particles move in a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This means that the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave.
What is a wave whose energy travels in the same direction as the energy is transferred called?
That is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy transfer. Sound waves in air are examples of longitudinal waves.
What is a wave which causes the particles of the medium to move in the same direction that the wave is traveling?
That is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal waves.
How does a longitudinal wave pass through a medium how do particles of the medium move?
In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium oscillate in the same direction that the wave is traveling. The particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave.
What happens to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
As the amplitude of a longitudinal wave increases, the particles in the wave will oscillate with greater displacement from their equilibrium position. This means they will move further away from their resting position as the wave passes through them.
In a longitudinal wave the energy of the wave moves?
The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.
In a compression or longitudinal wave the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction to the direction of energy transport.?
Yes, that is correct. In a compression or longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of energy transport. This means that the particles of the medium exhibit back-and-forth motion in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
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)
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?
longitudinal
