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.

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.
The Simple Wave Simulator provides the learner an environment to explore the distinction between longitudinal and transverse waves, the wavelength-frequency-period relationship, sound waves as pressure waves, and much more.
24 Απρ 2022 · In this highly anisotropic case, different plane waves with the same frequency have wave vectors which point in the same direction, but have different lengths. Figure 2.9: Wave fronts and wave vectors (\(k\) 1 and \(k\) 2) of two plane waves with different wavelengths oriented in different directions. The slanted bands show regions of ...
Transverse & Longitudinal Waves. In mechanical waves, particles oscillate about fixed points. There are two types of wave: transverse and longitudinal. The type of wave can be determined by the direction of the oscillations in relation to the direction the wave is travelling.
11 Ιαν 2024 · Figure 1.2.3 – Longitudinal Wave. This time the displacement of a single point in the medium is parallel to the direction of the motion of the wave, the defining characteristic of a longitudinally polarized wave. Notice that like any other wave, the medium is not traveling with the wave, it is moving back-and forth.
The following simulation shows a graph of the longitudinal motion of one molecule, the red circle, in a collection of molecules which has a longitudinal wave passing through it, much like sound passing through air.
