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 ...

The quantity of energy carried relates to the amplitude of the wave. ... In a longitudinal wave, ... The waves always 'spread' to some extent into the area beyond the gap.

What’s in a wave. When energy moves through a substance such as water or air, it makes a wave. There are two kinds of waves: longitudinal ones and transverse ones.

Mechanical and electromagnetic waves, transverse and longitudinal waves, pulses and continuous waves are compared. Frequency, wavelength, period, and amplitude of waves are studied. 02/11/2002 ...

Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel. This allows them to carry energy. The quantity of energy carried relates to the amplitude of the wave.
