Question
Give two examples each of longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
✓
Answer
Longitudinal waves:
- The waves which travel along a spring when it is pushed and pulled at one end.
- Sound waves in air.
- The waves produced by moving one end of a long spring up and down rapidly, while other end is fixed.
- The water waves or ripples formed on the surface of water in a pond.
