Wave is defined as an oscillations accompanied by transfer of energy through a medium. Motion of a wave transfers energy from one point to another which displaces particles of the medium. A wave can be either longitudinal wave or a transverse wave. Longitudinal waves is formed when oscillations of particles occurs parallel to the direction of the wave and transverse wave is formed when disturbance of particles creates oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction. Particles in longitudinal wave vibrates in parallel direction while in transverse waves particles vibrates perpendicularly.

Longitudinal Wave

Longitudinal waves are type of waves which is produced when vibration of particles of the medium conveying a wave parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave. Waves in which displacement of the medium is in the same direction or the opposite direction to the direction of wave. Longitudinal waves produce compression and rarefaction when travelling through a medium it is therefore also called as compressional waves. In longitudinal waves, one compression and one rarefaction constitutes one wave. Compressions have the maximum density on the medium of a wave while rarefactions have minimum density on the wave medium. Wavelength can be easily determine by just measuring the distance between two compressions, or two rarefactions. Rarefactions and compressions slides from one point to another in the same direction that the wave travels. The best example of longitudinal waves we see in our daily life is sound waves including ultrasound or infrasonic waves. Sound waves when travel in the air, it creates pressure distortion in the air molecules. This distortion is compression and rarefactions which is in the medium. The particles of air move to and fro in direction parallel to that of travelling sound wave.

Transverse Wave

Transverse wave is formed when vibration of particles of the medium conveying a wave that is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave. These waves don't carry matter along with them but they transport energy as they travel through them. So the particles do not move along with the wave, they simply oscillate up and down at their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passed by. Transverse waves travels in the form of crests and troughs.in Transverse wave, one crest and one trough constitutes one wave. The best examples of the transverse waves are beach waves moving towards a shore, waves produced on a guitar string or waves produced while jumping on a rope. Transvers waves can only move through solid medium because in liquid and gases transverse waves fall apart. Electromagnetic waves like visible light waves and X-rays are also examples of transverse waves.

Key Difference

Longitudinal wave is formed when vibration of particles of the medium conveying a wave parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave while transverse wave is formed when vibrations of the particles of the medium conveying a wave perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Longitudinal acts only in one dimension or plane while transverse waves acts in two dimensions.

Longitudinal wave can travel through gas, liquid or solid medium while transverse wave can only travel through solid and liquid medium.

Longitudinal wave is made up of compressions and rarefactions while transverse wave is made up of crests and troughs.

A longitudinal wave cannot be polarized while a transverse wave can be polarized.

(1) Simple harmonic motion is oscillatory motion under a retarding force proportional to the amount of displacement from an equilibrium position.

(2) Hooke's law states that, for relatively small deformations of an object, the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load. In other words, F = k*x, where F is applied force, k is a constant (rate or spring constant) in N/m, and x is displacement or change in length in meters. The value of k depends on the kind of elastic material, its dimensions, and its shape.

(3) In a simple pendulum with no friction, mechanical energy is conserved. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum moves upward, KE increases and PE decreases, and as it moves down, KE decreases and PE increases.

(4) Wave - an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy
Amplitude - the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.
Period - the time needed for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.
Frequency - the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time. The most common unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz), corresponding to 1 crest per second. The frequency of a wave can be calculated  by dividing the speed of the wave by the wavelength.

(5) The formula to find the period of a pendulum in simple harmonic motion is given by T=2π*sqrt(L/g), where T is the pendulum period in seconds, L is pendulum length in meters, and g is the acceleration of gravity in m/s^2.
The formula for a mass-spring system is F = -k*x, where F is the force exerted upon the spring, x is the amount the spring stretches relative to its relaxed position, and k is the proportionality constant or spring constant, a positive constant whose value is dependent upon the spring being studied.

(6) A wave medium is the substance that carries the wave or disturbance from one location to another. For example, the medium for a sound wave would be air.

(7) A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium is limited, and the material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

(8) A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction the wave moves. Examples are light, a wiggling string, and ripples from a stone thrown into a pond. It's also like moving a slinky that's stretched across a room up and down, because the wave moves side to side but the slinky moves up and down.

(9) A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction the wave moves. Examples are sound waves and springs. It's also like moving a slinky that's stretched across a room side to side, because both the wave the the slinky move side to side.

(10) Crest - the point on a wave with the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle.
Trough - the point on a wave with the minimum value of upward displacement within a cycle.
Wavelength - the distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves, denoted by λ.
λ = v/f

(11) Constructive interference is when the amplitudes of two waves have the same sign and add together to form a wave with a larger amplitude. Destructive interference is when the amplitudes of two waves have opposite signs and subtract to form a wave combined wave with lower amplitude.

F= E x F where (F) is force, (E) is elasticity and (K) is a constant.

3. Gravitational potential energy and Kinetic Energy changes during pendulum movement by having the pendulum start at a high potential energy and as it falls the energy is converted to Kinetic energy, which then is used to push the pendulum back up and looses it as it falls with potential energy. Eventually friction with air slows or decreases the energy after each swing.

4. A wave is a number of crests that move past a given point in a matter of unit in time. Frequency is measured through the units of hertz and is the length of a wave.

4) A wave is an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy, amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position of an object oscillating around such equilibrium position, frequency is the number of events per unit of time, and period is the time it takes to complete one oscillation.

5) T=2(pi)(L/G)^.5

6) Medium is a substance or material that carries the wave from one side to the other.

7)A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

8) A transverse wave is a wave where the motion is in a perpendicular direction to the energy transfer.

9) A longitudinal wave is a wave vibrating in the same direction as the propagation, which is the transmission of motion, light, sound in a direction through a medium.

10) The highest point of a wave is called the crest. The lowest point is called the trough. Wavelength is the horizontal distance between waves in a series. Wavelength can be measured between two wave crests or two wave troughs.
11) In constructive interference, a crest meets a crest or a trough meets a trough, resulting in a larger crest or trough. In destructive interference, a crest meets a trough and results in cancellation, causing a smaller disturbance than either of the two interacting waves.

Wave is defined as an oscillations accompanied by transfer of energy through a medium. Motion of a wave transfers energy from one point to another which displaces particles of the medium. A wave can be either longitudinal wave or a transverse wave. Longitudinal waves is formed when oscillations of particles occurs parallel to the direction of the wave and transverse wave is formed when disturbance of particles creates oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction. Particles in longitudinal wave vibrates in parallel direction while in transverse waves particles vibrates perpendicularly.

Longitudinal Wave

Longitudinal waves are type of waves which is produced when vibration of particles of the medium conveying a wave parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave. Waves in which displacement of the medium is in the same direction or the opposite direction to the direction of wave. Longitudinal waves produce compression and rarefaction when travelling through a medium it is therefore also called as compressional waves. In longitudinal waves, one compression and one rarefaction constitutes one wave. Compressions have the maximum density on the medium of a wave while rarefactions have minimum density on the wave medium. Wavelength can be easily determine by just measuring the distance between two compressions, or two rarefactions. Rarefactions and compressions slides from one point to another in the same direction that the wave travels. The best example of longitudinal waves we see in our daily life is sound waves including ultrasound or infrasonic waves. Sound waves when travel in the air, it creates pressure distortion in the air molecules. This distortion is compression and rarefactions which is in the medium. The particles of air move to and fro in direction parallel to that of travelling sound wave.

Transverse Wave

Transverse wave is formed when vibration of particles of the medium conveying a wave that is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave. These waves don't carry matter along with them but they transport energy as they travel through them. So the particles do not move along with the wave, they simply oscillate up and down at their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passed by. Transverse waves travels in the form of crests and troughs.in Transverse wave, one crest and one trough constitutes one wave. The best examples of the transverse waves are beach waves moving towards a shore, waves produced on a guitar string or waves produced while jumping on a rope. Transvers waves can only move through solid medium because in liquid and gases transverse waves fall apart. Electromagnetic waves like visible light waves and X-rays are also examples of transverse waves.

Key Difference

Longitudinal wave is formed when vibration of particles of the medium conveying a wave parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave while transverse wave is formed when vibrations of the particles of the medium conveying a wave perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Longitudinal acts only in one dimension or plane while transverse waves acts in two dimensions.

Longitudinal wave can travel through gas, liquid or solid medium while transverse wave can only travel through solid and liquid medium.

Longitudinal wave is made up of compressions and rarefactions while transverse wave is made up of crests and troughs.

A longitudinal wave cannot be polarized while a transverse wave can be polarized.

1. The periodic consisting of one or more vibratory motions that are symmetric about the region of equilbrium.
2. F= k x e. F is force, e is elasticty, and k is rate or spring constant.
3. As the pendelum swings back and forth, there is a cosntant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitional potential energy.
4.Wave is an oscillation accompanied by the transfer of energy. Amplitude is is the maximum displacement or distance moved by point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. Period is the time needed for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point. Frequency is the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point  and unit of time.
5.T=2 π  √ L/g. L is the pendelum length. g is the acceleration of gravity. pendelum period. Mass spring sytem fromula is F=kx
6.THe sound wave moves from the medim of the air.
7.THe mechanical wave is a wave that is an osicllation of matter, which transfers energy through a medium.
8.Transverse wave is a moving wave that cosnists of oscillations occuring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
9.A wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
10. Crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value of upward displacment within a cycle. Trough is the opposite of the crest so the minimum or the lowest point on a wave. Wavelength is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats and the inverse of the spatial frequency.
11.Constructive inference is the the two amplitudes have opposite signs, they will substract to form a combined wave with a lower amplitude. THe destructive interference is the sound waves with the higher amplitudes sound louder than sound waves with lower amplitudes.
