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.

- 2.1: Light as a Wave
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.
5.63 - Graphs of transverse and longitudinal waves. There are two types of graphs which can be used to represent waves: Displacement-distance graphs - these show how the displacement of a particle varies with the distance of wave travel and can be used to measure wavelength.
Longitudinal waves - oscillation of particles is parallel to the direction of energy transfer. These are made up of compressions and rarefactions and can’t travel in a vacuum. Sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, and they can be demonstrated by pushing a slinky horizontally.
24 Μαΐ 2024 · Mathematics and experiments show that light is a transverse wave – the electric and magnetic field vectors point in directions that are perpendicular to the direction of motion of the light wave (and as it turns out, they also rare always perpendicular to each other).
11 Ιαν 2024 · The waves-through-fluid for which the equation above applies are longitudinal – like a wave on a slinky that compresses and expands the rings. Such waves in the ocean are significantly faster than their gravity wave counterparts.
