Condensation is the increase in density in a longitudinal wave, thus it signifies a high pressure area, which is higher energy, which is equated to the crest of a transverse wave.

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.


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 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


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.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave?

No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.


What is the part of a longitudinal wave called when its close together?

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are close together is called a compression. In a compression, the particles are densely packed and have higher pressure compared to other parts of the wave.
