Longitudinal orcompression waves(scalar). The compression of the wave at any point along the string can be described by ascalar quantity. Particle motion is parallel to the direction of travel of the wave. 2. Transverse waves (vector). The motion of particles in a transverse wave is perpendic...
Particle motion in longitudinal waves. Pt. II The classical equations of motion for a particle moving in a parallel longitudinal wave of arbitrary phase speed are discussed and the case of subluminal waves is considered in detail. Motion of both trapped and untrapped particles is ex... E Rowe...
Longitudinal and transverse waves differ based on the direction of propagation as compared to the direction of disturbance. Transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the direction of the particle. Longitudinal waves propagate parallel to the direction of the particle's motion. ...

Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic P-waves. These waves also travel in all directions, not just left to right. It is important to note that the direction of wave travel is not necessarily the same as the direction of particle displacement. For example, in a ...
An example of transverse waves is light waves or waves on a string. Step 5: Summarize the Differences- To summarize, the key difference between longitudinal and transverse waves lies in the direction of particle oscillation relative to the direction of wave propagation: - Longitudinal waves: ...
Waves A wave is characterized by its frequency and amplitude. Waves are 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 os...
Longitudinal waves are waves that have same direction of oscillations or vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel, which means that the oscillations of the medium (particle) is in the same direction or opposite direction as the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves ...
Ans:A type of mechanical wave in which the constituent elements oscillate along the direction of the wave motion is known as longitudinal wave—for example, sound waves. Q. Particles of a medium are moving at \(90^\circ \) to the direction of motion of wave; what type of wave is this...
Longitudinal elastic wave in columns due to earthquake motion An analysis is presented of longitudinal waves in a thin elastic column. Velocity is specified at one end, and the boundary condition at the other end is e... T Nonaka,RJ Clifton,T Okazaki - 《International Journal of Impact ...
