In longitudinal waves like sound, the vibrations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation. But the latest discovery by scientists from CityU changes this understanding of sound waves.

Researchers have discovered a fundamentally different form of light-matter interaction in their experiments with gold nanoparticles. ... longitudinal waves also occur.

Scientists from CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to ...

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and ...

Precise measurement of the systems status in nanocavities is crucial for study of the light-matter interactions at nanoscale. Towards this goal, Scientist in China adopted a gap-mode plasmonic ...

Learn how waves transfer energy from one place to another, the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves, and describe the parts of a wave. BBC Homepage. Skip to content; ...

This project uses a servo motor and small slinky to demonstrate what a longitudinal wave looks like. Additionally it shows the crests and troughs of that longitudinal wave. It can also be utilized to ...

Using demonstrations on the beach and his animated sketchbook Jon looks at the two main types of wave: transverse and longitudinal. Sea waves, light waves, and Mexican waves are all transverse waves.

Sunday Times News: Sound is propagated in the form of longitudinal waves. When sound travels from one medium to another, both its velocity and wavelength undergo changes ...
