A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the oscillations of the medium are in the same direction as the propagation of the wave. This means that the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What else can I help you with?
What is the future tense of wave?
The future tense is will wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is a mechanical wave a transverse wave?
A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
Which body wave is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
What is the future tense of wave?
The future tense is will wave.
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Which wave is not electromagnetic wave?
Mexican Wave? A non-electromagnetic wave.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
What type of wave is not an electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave is not an electromagnetic wave.
Which type of wave is not a member of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound wave; shock wave; gravitational wave; Mexican wave, Royal wave, etc.
Is a mechanical wave a transverse wave?
A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
Which body wave is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
What kind of wave is a radio wave?
A radio wave is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
