What is a key characteristic of longitudinal waves?

They compress and expand the medium in the same direction as the wave

They move the medium at right angles to the wave direction

They can travel through a vacuum

Why can't sound waves travel through space?

Because they require a medium to travel through

Because they are transverse waves

What will be covered in the next lesson?

How our ears interpret sound waves

The nature of electromagnetic waves

What is the main difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

Direction of particle vibration

Transverse waves can only travel through solids.

Longitudinal waves have a higher frequency than transverse waves.

Longitudinal waves travel faster than transverse waves.

What is the wavelength of a wave?

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between successive crests or troughs.

The wavelength of a wave is the total energy carried by the wave.

The wavelength of a wave is the amplitude of the wave.

The wavelength of a wave is the speed of the wave divided by its frequency.

What is the amplitude of a wave?

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height from the rest position.

The amplitude is the wavelength of the wave.
