Longitudinal waves can be observed in everyday life through sound waves, such as when you hear music playing or someone speaking. These waves create areas of compression and rarefaction as they travel through a medium, causing the particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave.
What else can I help you with?
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
Give three examples of mechanical waves and identify the medium through which they travel?
There are only two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal waves, and transverse waves..In a longitudinal wave, the waves themselves oscillate, or vibrate, in the same direction as the wave travel. Longitudinal waves are also called compression waves. Sound and seismic P-waves are examples of mechanical longitudinal waves..In a transverse wave, the waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel. Ocean waves and seismic S-waves are examples of mechanical transverse waves..See the related links for further information about longitudinal and transverse waves.
How can a slinky toy demonstrate the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.
What wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance?
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
Water waves that you might see at the beach move in circular or elliptical paths What type of mechanical waves are water waves?
Water waves are a type of mechanical waves known as surface waves. These waves travel along the boundary between two mediums, such as air and water, and they exhibit both transverse and longitudinal motion as they propagate.
How do sound moves?
Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
What role do waves play in our everyday life?
For example, without light you wouldn't be able to see; without sound you wouldn't be able to hear. Moreover, all matter is made up of waves, in a way.

Where do you see californium in your everyday life?
Californium is not for everyday uses.
Do you see a cow everyday of your life?
No, I do not see a cow every day of my life.

How does sound travel through seawater?
the same manner that sound travels in a fluid (gas or liquid) -- longitudinal waves. Please see the related link. =========================

What is the part of the wave where the particles are closest together?
Assuming that you are referring to longitudinal waves, the area where particles are closest together would be called the "compression" area. The "rarefaction" is the opposite; this is where the medium is least dense. Sound is a good example of longitudinal waves. If you look closely at a speaker cone, you be able to see that they seem to move in and out very rapidly. This is what "pushes" and "pulls" the air molecules and creates compressions and rarefactions which our ears receive and transmit as a neural impulse to our brain, allowing us to hear. Although transverse and longitudinal waves are both different types of waves, they are dissimilar (particles in a transverse wave move perpendicular to the motion of the wave (up and down) where as particles in a longitudinal wave move in the direction the wave is traveling).
What shapes can you see in everyday life?
You can see them all, if you know where to look
