Question

write two differences between longitudinal and transverse wave in point

Answer 1

Hello,

Differences between the transverse wave and longitudinal wave:-

Transverse wave :-

(1)A transverse wave is a wave in which variation of the amplitude of a wave is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

(2) Light wave, wave in string, wave developed in water etc.

(3)In light wave electric and magnetic field oscillates normally to the direction of motion of the wave.

(4) It may propagate in the vacuum.

Longitudinal wave :-

(1)A longitudinal wave is a wave in which variation of the amplitude of wave is in the direction of the propagation of wave.

(2)sound wave, oscillation in the spring.

(3) In spring wave elongation or compression occurs along the direction of motion of the wave.

(4) It can not propagate in the vacuum.

hope it helps!!❤❤❤❤

Answer 2

Longitudinal waves

 1) Here the Displacement of the Medium is Parallel to the Propagation of the Wave
 2) Sound waves are the Best Example
3) The Particle will moves with an Angle 0 Degree in the Direction of the Wave
4) They are also known as Compression Waves due to their Pulling and Pushing they do.
5) Longitudinal Waves cannot be Polarised

Transverse waves

1) Here the Displacement of the Medium is Perpendicular to the Propagation of the Wave
2)  Light and some Electromagnetic Waves are the Best Examples
3) The Particles will move with an Angle 90 degree with the Direction of the Wave
4) The another types of  Transverse Wave is S wave which Occurs at the Earth Quake
5) Transverse Waves can be Polarised
