THIS IS A SCIENCE QUESTION, sorry if it says physics, this is middle school science 1. What is the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave? List examples of each

2. Explain oscillations, or motion, or both types of waves.

3. The equation V + f x 人 is used to calculate the speed of a wave. what do the symbols f and 人 represent, and what unit are they measured in?

1. Examples of transverse waves include vibrations on a string and ripples on the surface of water. We can make a horizontal transverse wave by moving the slinky vertically up and down. In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels.

2. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. The animations below demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling.

3. f is force and 人 is wave length

what was the answer?
