Longitudinal waves are waves where the vibration of the particles is parallel to the direction of travel of the wave for eg sound is longitudinal wave.
Stationary waves are produced when two or more progressive waves of the same frequency and amplitude pass through each other.

Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
What are sound waves A Standing wave B Transverse wave C Longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal (also called compression) wave
