Question

what are the important characteristics of longitudinal waves .. it's in physics which can be air waves .. please write it in 5 points
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The essential characteristic of a longitudinal wave that distinguishes it from other types of waves is that the particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport.

Answer 2

Answer:

Longitudinal waves are defined as the waves that move back and forth in the same direction in a medium. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.

Following are the Characteristics of longitudinal waves:

--Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves because they need a medium for their propagation.

--Compressions and rarefactions are the two parts of the longitudinal waves that are seen when they propagate in a medium.

--Compression takes place when the particles are close to each other.

--Rarefaction takes place when the particles are far apart.
