Revise transverse and longitudinal waves for your physics GCSE foundation and higher triple science exams with Bitesize interactive practice quizzes covering feedback and common errors.

Examples include waves on a string and electromagnetic waves like light. Image Source: Proprofs. Longitudinal Waves: Longitudinal waves have oscillations parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and earthquake p-waves. Examples of transverse waves include EM waves, water waves, and earthquake s-waves. Details Equipment [1] Slinky; Script. Ask ...

Mechanical and electromagnetic waves, transverse and longitudinal waves, pulses and continuous waves are compared. Frequency, wavelength, period, and amplitude of waves are studied.

Investigate sound's ability to travel through different media in transverse and longitudinal waves. STEM Challenge: build a Cymatic Demonstrator to visualize sound waves. Program #0102.
