Longitudinal waves are vibrations that travel in the same direction as the wave is moving. The particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave's motion. They have compressions (areas of high pressure) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure) as they propagate through the medium. Examples include sound waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
The Doppler effect can be observed with both longitudinal waves, like sound waves, and transverse waves, like light waves. The effect describes the change in frequency of a wave as the source or observer moves relative to each other, resulting in a shift in the perceived wavelength of the wave.
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.

All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
