Particles in a longitudinal wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
True
False
Particles in a longitudinal wave oscillate along the direction of the wave propagation. Sound waves are examples of the longitudinal wave.
State true or false. Particles in a longitudinal wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
Statement 1: In air, the particles vibrate around their mean positions along the direction of propagation of sound waves.
Statement 2: In longitudinal waves, the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
How is the direction of propagation of medium particles related to the direction of propagation of a longitudinal wave?
