Question

distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves​

Answer 1

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Answer 2

A wave is a disturbance that propagates energy from one place to another without transporting any matter. The general example would be a stone hitting the surface of the water and creating ripples that travel in a shape of concentric circles with its radius increasing until they strike the boundary of the pond. There are various types of waves and the two of those would be longitudinal and transverse waves.

• In a longitudinal wave, the medium or the channel moves in the same direction with respect to the wave. Here, the movement of the particles is from left to right and force other particles to vibrate.
• In a transverse wave will the medium or the channel moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Here, the particles move up and down as the waves move horizontally.
