Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves.

Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal wave motion.

It is possible to distinguish between the transverse and longitudinal waves by studying the property of

Longitudinal waves cannot

What is a longitudinal wave ?

Explain the reflection of transverse and longitudinal waves from a denser and a rarer medium.

Distinguish between progressive and stationary waves .

Distinguish between longitudinal and transverse waves.

Distinguish between longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

What are transverse and longitudinal waves?Explain with suitable examples.

Assertion : Solids, can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases. Reason : For the proagation of transverse waves, medium must also necessarily have the property of rigidity.
