Question

What are transverse and longitudinal stationary waves? Give their characteristics?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Types of Mechanical Waves

There are primarily two types of mechanical waves, namely:

1. Transverse Waves
2. Longitudinal Waves

Transverse Waves

In transverse waves too, the particles do not move along with the wave. They move up and down about their equilibrium positions. Some examples of transverse waves are:

• The ripples on the surface of the water
• The secondary waves of an earthquake
• Electromagnetic waves
• The waves on a string
• Stadium or human wave
• The ocean waves

Answer 2

Answer:

transverse wave

the particles do not move in equilibrium position.

longitudinal waves

the particles moves in equilibrium position.
