What is the angle between the particle velocity and wave velocity in longitudinal waves and in transverse ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the angle between the particle velocity and wave velocity in longitudinal and transverse waves, we can analyze each type of wave separately. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **1. Understanding Longitudinal Waves:** - In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave propagates. - The particle velocity (the direction in which a particle moves) is parallel to the wave velocity (the direction in which the wave travels). ...
