How do you Describe the properties of a longitudinal wave?

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the vibration of the medium is in the same direction as the direction of wave propagation. They are characterized by compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?

Sound waves are longitudinal.


What is another name for a longitudinal a longitudinal wave?

A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.


Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?

Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.


What is the relationship between the speed of a longitudinal wave and the medium through which it travels?

The speed of a longitudinal wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it travels. Different mediums have different densities and elasticities, which affect how fast the wave can travel through them. In general, the speed of a longitudinal wave increases with the stiffness and density of the medium.


What type of wave does sound travel in?

Longitudinal Wave


Is longitudinal a sound wave?

A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave


What are two other wave properties besides amplitude and frequency?

Waves have other properties like Phase and Longitudinal or Transverse mode..


Is sound a longitudinal wave?

Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.


Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?

Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.


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.


Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?

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.
