A wave travels through the air. The particles of the wave move at right angles to the motion of the energy of the wave . What type of wave is this a Longitudinal wave
Explanation:
In Longitudinal waves, particles vibrate in the direction of the wave while Transverse waves particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
Therefore longitudinal wave is composed of regions of compression (analogous to the crest of a transverse wave) and rarefactions (analogous to the trough of a transverse wave ).
Examples of a longitudinal wave are the sound waves while an example of transverse waves is the ripples on the surface of water.
