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.
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave that travels in the direction of the medium, but a transverse wave is another type of wave that travels in the direction of the medium. Longitudinal waves are made of compressions and rarefactions, while transverse waves are made of crests and troughs.
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...
24 Απρ 2022 · Light waves are purely transverse, while sound waves are purely longitudinal. Ocean waves are a peculiar mixture of transverse and longitudinal, with parcels of water moving in elliptical trajectories as waves pass. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
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 ...
On a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is measured as the distance between the middles of two compressions, or the middles of two expansions. Figure 3. This leads us to one of the most important formulas you will use when studying waves. Frequency tells us how many waves are passing a point per second, the inverse of time.
