Question

What are transverse and longitudinal waves give example?

Answer 1

In a transverse wave, the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Examples of transverse waves include vibrations on a string and ripples on the surface of water. ... An example of longitudinal waves is compressions moving along a slinky.

Answer 2

Answer:

Longitudinal and transverse waves

In longitudinal waves, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave travel.

Examples of longitudinal waves include:

1)sound waves

2)ultrasound waves

3)seismic P-waves

In tranverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave travel.

Examples of transverse waves include:

ripples on the surface of water

vibrations in a guitar string

a Mexican wave in a sports stadium

electromagnetic waves – eg light waves, microwaves, radio waves

seismic S-waves.
