the speed at which the energy travels increases.
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
That is called a longitudinal wave.
longitudinal waves
The energy travels parallel to the direction of the wave
Longitudinal wave
the speed at which the energy travels increases.
The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.
Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it.

Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.
Longitudinal wave.
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
That is called a longitudinal wave.
The sound wave only travels in a medium, where the wave is in Longitudinal format.
