The longitudinal waves in an earthquake are called pressure waves (P-waves) and the transverse waves are called shear waves (S-waves). These two types of waves propagate at different speeds, and the speed at which they travel depends on the rigidity of the medium through which they are traveling.
I go over the definition and way of finding amplitude, period, frequency, and wavelength of a wave, the crests and troughs of a wave, and how to find wavelength on a longitudinal wave. Check...
The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. Similarly, the amplitude can be measured from the rest position to the trough position.
11 Ιαν 2024 · One of the four position graphs given below represents a snap-shot of the wave at a given instant in time (the moment in time for each case is indicated on the graph). Find the \(y\)-vs-\(x\) graph below that belongs to this wave. Find the amplitude, wavelength and period of this wave. Find the speed at which this wave is traveling.
11 Ιαν 2023 · Longitudinal Polarization: A material wave is longitudinal if the medium displacement from equilibrium is in the same direction that the wave is traveling. In most examples of longitudinal waves that we explore, this displacement occurs as periodic compressions (region of more dense medium) and rarefactions (regions of less dense medium) of the ...
Longitudinal waves are waves where the motion of the material in the wave is back and forth in the same direction that the wave moves. Sound waves (in air and in solids) are examples of longitudinal waves.
The wave e can be described as having a vertical distance of 32 cm from a trough to a crest, a frequency of 2.4 Hz, and a horizontal distance of 48 cm from a crest to the nearest trough. Determine the amplitude, period, and wavelength and speed of such a wave.
