  Green: compression

Which is the right definition of a longitudinal wave?

• vibrations are in the same direction as the direction of wave motion

• vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave motion

A Mexican wave is an example of a ................

• longitudinal wave

• water wave

• transverse wave

• sound wave

Predict the motion of the rubber duck as water waves travel from one end of a bathtub to the other end.

• the duck will move left to right

• the duck will move up and down

Sound waves are caused by:

• our ears

• vibrations

• transverse waves

• air
