Dit is waarom:
* Longitudinal waves are waves where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction the wave travels. Think of a slinky:if you push one end, the coils compress and expand along the length of the slinky, creating a wave that moves forward.
* Transverse waves are waves where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Imagine shaking a rope up and down:the wave moves horizontally, but the rope particles move vertically.
Examples of longitudinal waves:
* geluidsgolven: Sound waves travel through air, water, or solids by causing particles to compress and expand in the direction of the wave.
* P-waves (primary waves) in earthquakes: These seismic waves travel through the Earth by compressing and expanding the rock.
