If the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, it is called a transverse wave. In transverse waves, the particle movement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Light and other types of electromagnetic radiation are ...
Longitudinal wave, wave consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction as the advance of the wave. A coiled spring that is compressed at one end and then released experiences a wave of compression that travels it
Longitudinal Wave In transverse waves, the particle movement is perpendicular to the movement of the wave, but there is another type of wave where the particles move parallel to the wave or in the same direction as the wave. These waves are called longitudinal waves. These waves are formed ...
Longitudinal waves are the mechanical waves in which the vibration of the particles takes place in the same direction as that of the wave. Sound waves, seismic waves are the examples of longitudinal waves.
used for transfer of energy. A wave is a physical phenomenon that is a kind of oscillation that requires a vibrating source. Wave motion is the movement of the overall wave through some medium. Particle motion is the oscillation of a particle component of the wave about an equilibrium ...
In summary, the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves lies in the direction of movement of the medium particles. In transverse waves, the particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, while in longitudinal waves, the particles move parallel to the direction of wave ...
alongitudinal wavehas the particles of a medium vibrating or moving parallel (i.e., in the same direction) to the direction in which the wave travels. Therefore, it is formed when the movement of a media's particles is parallel to the direction traveled by the disturbance.Longitudinal waves...
Using the Lagrangian equation for the envelopes of the longitudinal motion of a non-relativistic charged particle bunch in the field of a traveling wave, we obtained solutions to the problem of optimizing this motion. The pronounced extrema of the bunch size and its spectrum were found and ...

aUltrasound can produce 3 forms of oscillation in the medium wave: shear wave - particle direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of vibration wave; Longitudinal wave - particle direction is consistent with the direction of propagation of vibration wave; Surface wave - particle ...
