Question

Difference between transverse wave and longitudinal wave

Answer 1

Explanation:

TRANSVERSE WAVE :

These are the wave in which the individual particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.

LONGITUDINAL WAVE:

These are the wave in which the individual particles of the medium oscillate along the direction of wave propagation.

Thank you

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between transverse waves and longitudinal waves:-)

1》ln transverse wave the vibration of the particles of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave, while in longitudinal waves, the vibration of the particles of medium are parallel to direction of propagation of the wave.

2》ln transverse waves, alternate crests and troughs are formed while in longitudinal waves, alternate zone of compression and rarefaction are formed .

3》 Transverse waves may be formed in solid and over liquid surfaces while longitudinal waves may be formed in solids, liquids and gases.

4》 Transverse waves do not involve change of pressure and density of medium while longitudinal waves in what changes of pressure and density of the medium.

5》 transverse waves can be polarized while longitudinal waves cannot be polarized.
