What are the bunched up parts in longitudinal waves called?
The bunched up parts in longitudinal waves are called compressions. These are regions where the particles of the medium are crowded together.
What are compressional waves with particle motion in the same direction as wave propagation?
Those are called longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves in air are a common example of longitudinal waves.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves in air are an example of 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.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Is a volcanic wave longitudinal?
There are no waves that are specifically called "volcanic waves"; however, a volcanic eruption can of course cause seismic waves. These can be longitudinal or transverse.
What are the bunched up parts in longitudinal waves called?
The bunched up parts in longitudinal waves are called compressions. These are regions where the particles of the medium are crowded together.
Longitudinal waves are also called?
Yes, there is another name for longitudinal waves which is 'Elastic Waves'. These waves have the same direction of vibration, as their direction of travel. These waves consist of Compressions and Rarefractions. Mechanically they are also called as Compression waves.
What are compressional waves with particle motion in the same direction as wave propagation?
Those are called longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves in air are a common example of longitudinal waves.
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.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)

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.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
What is a wave which causes the particles of the medium to move in the same direction that the wave is traveling?
That is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
What are Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling called?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
