Question

difference between transverse and longitudinal wave

Answer 1

=>Longitudinal waves:-

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

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

iii)The primary wave in the earthquake is the longitudinal waves.

iv)The longitudinal waves are one dimension.

=>Transverse waves:-

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

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

iii)The secondary waves in a earthquake is the transverse waves.

iv)The transverse waves are the two dimension.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

• TRANSVERSE              
• consits of crests and troughs
• no pressure variations
• propagation through solids and liquids but not through gases
• particles of medium vibrate at right angles to the direction of propagation
• no change in density of medium
• EG- light wave

LONGITUDNAL

• consists of compressions and rarefactions
• pressure variations throughout
• propagation through all three mediums
• particles of the medium vibrate to the direction of wave propagation
• change in density of the medium
• EG- sound wave
