The slinky can be shaken to produce longitudinal and transverse waves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and earthquake p-waves. Examples of transverse waves include EM waves, water ...

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 ...

The demonstration that plasmons can be dragged by drifting electrons in the 2D material graphene could lead to advances in ... Light is a transverse wave, whereas a plasmon is a longitudinal wave.

Negative refraction of elastic waves has been studied and experimentally demonstrated in three- and two-dimensional phononic crystals, but Bragg scattering is impractical for low-frequency wave ...
