Longitudinal waves are waves where the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the direction of the travelling wave. The distance between the centres of two consecutive regions of compression or the rarefaction is defined by wavelength, λ.
Longitudinal waves show areas of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are regions of increased pressure; Rarefactions are regions of decreased pressure; Diagram of a longitudinal wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are: Sound waves; Ultrasound waves; Longitudinal waves can be shown on a slinky spring; Longitudinal waves cannot be polarised
Longitudinal waves show areas of compressions and rarefactions. Diagram of a longitudinal wave. The compressions are areas of high pressure due to particles being close together. The rarefactions are areas of low pressure due to the particles spread further apart.
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 Απρ 2022 · Waves on a slinky are either transverse, in that the motion of the material of the slinky is perpendicular to the orientation of the slinky, or they are longitudinal, with material motion in the direction of the stretched slinky. (See figure 1.1.)
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.
