Do the Longitudinal waves transfer the matter?

Open in App

Solution

Longitudinal waves are the waves in which the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave. The Longitudinal waves only transport the energy and do not transfer the matter.
Therefore, the Longitudinal waves do not transfer the matter.
