Difference between longitudinal and transverse waves |
|
Answer» \tLongitudinalTransverseThe movement of the medium is of the same direction of the waveThe movement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of waveIt acts in one dimensionIt acts in two dimensionThe wave cannot be polarized or alignedThe wave can be polarized or alignedThis wave can be produced in any medium such as gas, liquid or solidThis wave can be produced in solid and liquid’s surfaceEarthquake P wave is an exampleEarthquake S wave is an exampleIt is made of refractions and compressionsIt is made of troughs and crests\t Well ...This is it ...as far as i think!.. When the particles of the medium move back and forth in the direction of motion of the wave then it is said to be a longitudnal wave And when the particles of the medium move up and down in the direvtion of motion of the wave then it is said to be a travsverse wave |
