What is the angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in a longitudinal wave?
Draw a graph between the speed of sound through gas and pressure of the gas

Explanation:
longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The animation at right shows a one-dimensional longitudinal plane wave propagating down a tube. The particles do not move down the tube with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Pick a single particle and watch its motion. The wave is seen as the motion of the compressed region (ie, it is a pressure wave), which moves from left to right.
The second animation at right shows the difference between the oscillatory motion of individual particles and the propagation of the wave through the medium. The animation also identifies the regions of compression and rarefaction.
Answer:The angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in a transverse wave. The answer is 90° as the wave travels forward but it's particles move up and down i.e. perpendicular to the wave propagation
