Question

differentiate between longitudinal and transverse waves

Answer 1

Longitudinal waves :

1) A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction in which the wave is moving, is called Longitudinal waves.

2) Longitudinal waves can be produced in all three media solids, liquid and gas.

3) Longitudinal waves consists of compression and rarefraction travelling through a medium.

Transverse waves :


1) A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate up and down at right angles to the direction in which the wave is moving us called transverse waves.

2) Transverse waves can be produced only in solids and liquids but not in Gases.

3) Transverse waves travels horizontally in a medium, the particles of the medium vibrate up and down in the vertical direction.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

longitudinal waves
--------------------------
* ln longitudinal waves ,the particles of the medium vibrate along the direction of wave motion

*these waves travel in the form of altrnate compression and rarefration

*these waves can b transmitd thru solid..liquid...and gaseous medium

*they have changes in the pressure of the different parts of the medium thru wich they pass

*eg.sound waves in air....waves formd along compressd string

transverse waves
-------------------------
*particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

*travel in the form of altrnate crust and trough

*can b transmitted thru solid or liquid surface

*no pressure changes in yhe medium tru wich they pas

*eg.wavs formd around watr surface...wavs in stetchd strings
