Question

HELP NEEDE ASAP!!!!!!!! How do you understand by the longitudinal wave? Describe the longitudinal nature of sound waves

Answer 1

Sound as a Longitudinal Wave

For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.

Answer 2

Hey!

Here is your answer!

Step-by-step explanation:

LONGITUDINAL WAVES:

These are waves where the transferral of energy is PARALLEL to the direction it travels in...For Example...Sound Waves are Longitudinal as they move in a series of COMPRESSIONS and RAREFACTIONS (typical of all Longitudinal Waves)...

The compressions are known in diagrams to be an area of a dense collection of PARTICLES where the energy (or sound in this case) is being transferred in the same direction as the movement...

The rarefactions are shown as almost empty area of particles where the medium (the matter of which the wave travels in) is moving...

Hope this helps!
