Onda longitudinal

The video explains wave propagation, focusing on longitudinal waves, such as sound waves. It describes how particles move in the direction of wave travel and introduces the concept of compression waves.

In which direction do the vibrations occur in a wave?

• In the same direction as the wave travel

• Opposite to the wave travel

• In a circular motion

• Perpendicular to the wave travel

What type of wave is sound an example of?

• Electromagnetic wave

• Transverse wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Surface wave

How do particles move when sound propagates through the air?

• In a circular motion

• In a zigzag pattern

• Back and forth

• Up and down

What is another name for longitudinal waves?

• Transverse waves

• Compression waves

• Surface waves

• Shear waves

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of longitudinal waves?

• Sound is an example of this type of wave

• Particles move perpendicular to wave travel

• They are also called compression waves

• Vibrations occur in the same direction as wave travel
