What are the bunched up parts in longitudinal waves called?
The bunched up parts in longitudinal waves are called compressions. These are regions where the particles of the medium are crowded together.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
In longitudinal waves in a spring the parts where the coils are spread out are called?
rarefactions
In longitudinal waves in a spring the parts where the coils are spread out are called what?
rarefactions
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
What are the stretched out parts in longitudinal waves called?
The stretched out parts in longitudinal waves are called rarefactions. These are regions where the particles of the medium are spread out, creating a lower pressure area compared to the surrounding compressed regions known as compressions.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
