Longitudinal Wave

 Longitudinal Wave

Wave propagation is indication or event or the propagation of vibration energy of 3 (three) the amount of inter-related.

Waves can also be called as a form of vibrations that propagate in a medium. On the propagating wave is a wave, not the substance of the intermediary medium. One wave length can be seen by calculating the distance between the valley and the hills (wave tranversal) or calculate the distance between the density with one strain (longitudinal wave). Rapid propagation of the wave is the distance traveled by the wave in one second.



λ =  V .  T

λ  = (lamda) wavelength, the distance traveled in each period waves (m)

V = speed wave propagating in the (m / s)

T = period of motion in (s)

Wave vibration direction parallel to the longitudinal length of the object called a wave. Longitudinal waves occur due to sealing and stretching. Sealing and stretching can occur in all states of matter.

Longitudinal waves can propagate so through all the states of matter, namely solids, liquids and gases. For example sound waves, waves on slinki pulled or pushed.

The sound waves

The sound waves are mechanical waves, can propagate in solids, liquids, and gases. The sound waves included into the longitudinal wave.

Strength of the sound depends on the size of the wave amplitude, the greater the amplitude of the sound waves generated stronger. High and low frequency sound waves are influenced by. The higher the frequency the higher the sound produced as well.
