5. Measure: With the lights on, click Pause. Turn on Show rulers. A. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is equal to the distance between two successive compressions (or rarefactions). What is this distance? B. How does this compare to the wavelength of the comparable transverse wave? (See your answer to question 2C.)

Respuesta :

Explanation:

A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels

The wavelength of the longitudinal wave is different from the transverse wave in the fact that the wavelength transverse wave is the distance between to crest or trough.

What is Wavelength?

  • The distance between the two successive compressions is called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

  • In a transverse wave, particles oscillate or move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.

  • In a longitudinal wave, the particle of the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.

Therefore, the wavelength of the longitudinal wave is different from the transverse wave in the fact that the wavelength transverse wave is the distance between to crest or trough.
