Figure. Represents the displacement y versus distance x along the direction of propagation of a longitudinal wave. The pressure is maximum at position marked
Explain how sound is produced by your school bell ?
What do you mean by longitudinal wave?
Using suitable diagram explain how sound wave propagates through air from a vibrating tuning fork?
Which of the following statements are true wave motion? a) Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through all mediums. b) Longitudinal waves can propagate through solids only c) Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through only d) Longitudinal waves can propagate through vacuum.
As a wave propagates
Both transverse and longitudinal mechanical waves can propagate through a solid, but only longitudinal wave can propagate through a gas. Explain.
