If the wavelength of the wave is 24 cm, then the distance between the first compression and the third subsequent rarefaction in a longitudinal wave is ____ cm
A wave in which particles of medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave is called longitudinal wave.
Example : Sound waves.
1. Light waves (from Sun to Earth) are electromagnetic waves which are transverse in nature.
2. Ultrasonic waves in air are basically sound waves of frequency greater than the audible frequencies....
