Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

**Classifying Waves: Transverse vs. Longitudinal**

In this exercise, you will label each of the following types of waves as either a **transverse** or **longitudinal** wave.

a. **Sound waves in air**

b. **Vibrating guitar string**

c. **Waves on the surface of a lake**

d. **The wave in a stretched spring after a section of the spring is compressed then released**

e. **The wave pulse in a rope that is created by moving one end of the rope up and down**

f. **Earthquake wave**

*Note:* A **transverse wave** is a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. A **longitudinal wave**, on the other hand, is one where the particles move parallel to the wave's direction of travel.
