Question

difference between the longitudinal and transverse waves ​

Answer 1

☆Longitudinal waves:-

A longitudinal waves is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave.

This causes particles to move left and right inducing other particles to vibrate.

The primary wave in the earthquake is the longitudinal waves.

The longitudinal waves are one dimension.

☆Transverse waves:-

Transverse waves is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

The particles move up and down as the wave mones horizontally.

The secondary waves in a earthquake is the transverse waves.

The transverse waves are the two dimension.

Answer 2

longitudinal waves propagate longitudinally whereas transverse waves propagate through crests and troughs alternatively and thus forms the wave
