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.

In transverse waves like light, the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In longitudinal waves like sound, ...

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.

Transverse and longitudinal engines each have their place, and each has its fans. To say one is better than the other is a bit of a fallacy, as their applications are quite different.

As we began to investigate waves more carefully, a third type began to emerge. In addition to longitudinal and transverse waves, a type of wave where each of the particles involved underwent ...

Whereas a light wave can have two independent polarizations, an elastic wave in a homogeneous solid has three independent polarizations: two of these are transverse (shear waves) and one is ...
