A rainbow is made of different wavelengths (different colors) of light waves, and light waves are usually considered transverse waves.

A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?

In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.


What in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudnal wave?

In a transverse wave, the peak corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave. Both represent the regions of maximum energy transfer and particle displacement along their respective wave types.


What is the difference between A transverse wave versus compression wave?

A transverse wave is one where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like a wave on a string. A compression wave, or longitudinal wave, is where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves in air.


What is the difference between A transverse wave versus a compression wave?

A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.


How is the density at a compression in a compressional wave like the height of a transverse wave?

In a compressional wave, the density of the medium varies periodically as the wave travels through it. This variation corresponds to the peaks and troughs in a transverse wave, where the denser regions represent the peaks of compression and the less dense regions represent the troughs of rarefaction. However, in a compressional wave, this density variation occurs in the same direction as the wave propagation, whereas in a transverse wave it occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Do the compression in a compressional wave correspond to the what of a transverse wave?

Yes, they are exactly analogous and corresponding.

What parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?

In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
