which is fast surface wave or longitudnal wave
Answers
Answer:
In a transverse wave, the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. ... In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels. An example of longitudinal waves is compressions moving along a slinky.
Answer:
a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media.
A common example is gravity waves along the surface of liquids, such as ocean waves.
Gravity waves can also occur within liquids, at the interface between two fluids with different densities.
In longitudinal and transverse waves, all the particles in the entire bulk of the medium move in a parallel and a perpendicular direction (respectively) relative to the direction of energy transport.
In a surface wave, it is only the particles at the surface of the medium that undergo the circular motion.
