Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium, and pressure waves, because they produce increases and decreases in pressure. A wave along the length of a stretched Slinky toy, where the distance between coils increases and decreases, is a good visualization. Real-world examples include sound waves (vibrations in pressure, a particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). Plane pressure pulse wave ‘The other main type of wave is the transverse wave, in which the displacements of the medium are at right angles to the direction of propagation. Transverse waves, for instance, describe some bulk sound waves in solid materials (but not in fluids); these are also called "shear waves" to differentiate them from the (longitudinal) pressure waves that these materials also support. Nomenclature “Longitudinal waves" and "transverse waves" have been abbreviated by some authors as "L-waves" and "T-waves", respectively, for their own convenience.” While these two abbreviations have specific meanings in seismology (L-wave for Love wave! or long wavel3)) and electrocardiography (see T wave), some authors chose to use "I-waves" (lowercase 'L') and "t-waves" instead, although they are not commonly found in physies writings except for some popular science books.|4) Sound waves In the case of longitudinal harmonic sound waves, the frequency and wavelength can be described by the formula : wea(«(¢~2)) u(z,t) where: = yis the displacement of the point on the traveling sound wave; = xis the distance from the point to the wave's source; = fis the time elapsed; hitps:on wikipedia orgwikiLongituinal_ wave wa221723, 110M Longitudinal wave- Wikipedia = yo is the amplitude of the oscillations, = cis the speed of the wave; and = wis the angular frequency of the wave. The quantity x/c is the time that the wave takes to travel the distance x. The ordinary frequency (f) of the wave is given by » fog. The wavelength can be calculated as the relation ‘between a wave's speed and ordinary frequency. Representation of the propagation of an omnidirectional pulse wave on a 2d grid (empirical For sound waves, the amplitude of the wave is the difference between the pressure of the undisturbed air and the maximum pressure caused by the wave. Sound's propagation speed depends on the type, temperature, and composition of the medium through which it propagates. Pressure waves The equations for sound in a fluid given above also apply to acoustic waves in an elastic solid. Although solids also support transverse waves (known as S-waves in seismology), longitudinal sound waves in the solid exist with a velocity and wave impedance dependent on the material's density and its rigidity, the latter of which is described (as with sound in a gas) by the material's bulk modulus] In May 2022, NASA reported the sonification (converting astronomical data associated with pressure waves into sound) of the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster. [17] Electromagnetics Maxwell's equations lead to the prediction of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum, which is transverse waves, due to the fact that they would need particles to vibrate upon, the elects magnetic fields of which the wave consists are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.!8] However plasma waves are longitudinal since these are not electromagnetic waves but density waves of charged particles, but which can couple to the electromagnetic field. 8J[910] After Heaviside's attempts to generalize Maxwell's equations, Heaviside concluded that electromagnetic waves were not to be found as longitudinal waves in "free space" or homogeneous media!) Maxwell's equations, as we now understand them, retain that conclusion: in free-space or other uniform isotropic dielectrics, electro-magnetic waves are strictly transverse. However electromagnetic waves can display a longitudinal component in the electric and/or magnetic fields when traversing birefringent materials, or inhomogeneous materials especially at interfaces (surface waves for instance) such as Zenneck waves.(!2] hitps:on wikipedia orgwikiLongituinal_ wave 214e213, 141M Longiunel wave - Wikipedia In the development of modern physics, Alexandru Proca (1897-1955) was known for developing relativistic quantum field equations bearing his name (Proca's equations) which apply to the massive vector spin-1 mesons. In recent decades some other theorists, such as Jean-Pierre Vigier and Bo Lehnert of the Swedish Royal Society, have used the Proca equation in an attempt to demonstrate photon mass""3] as a longitudinal electromagnetic component of Maxwell's equations, suggesting that longitudinal electromagnetic waves could exist in a Dirac polarized vacuum.
