Question

What are the properties of longitudinal waves ,transverse waves and surface waves?

Answer 1

Longitudinal Waves: It is such a wave where the particles of the medium move in direction parallel to the direction of the wave.Here particle motion is parallel to wave motion.

Transverse Waves: It is such a wave where the particles of the medium move in direction perpendicular to the direction of the wave.Here particle motion is perpendicular to the wave motion.

Surface Waves: It is such a wave where particles move in circular motion.
