Question

difference between longitudinal and transverse waves. 3 marks​

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\bf{\mathfrak{\red{Answer}}}}}}}$

The regions where the coils become closer are called compressions(C) and the regions where the coils are further apart are called rarefactions (R). We can compare the propagation of disturbance in a slinky with the sound propagation in the medium ,these waves are called as longitudinal waves .

Therw is also another type of wave ,called as transverse wave. In a transverse wave, particles do not oscillate along the direction of wave propagation but oscillate up and down about their mean position is the wave travels .

Answer 2

Answer:

A wave in which the particles vibrate to and fro in the same direction in which the wave is moving is called longitudinal wave.

A wave in which the particles of medium vibrate up and down that is, perpendicular to the direction transverse wave
