Question
There are two forms of waves: transverse and longitudinal. Let us assume we have two unit vectors, ej and e2, such that the first vector is
parallel to the direction of wave propagation, while the second vector is parallel to the direction of disturbances in the wave.
1. Give the definition of transverse waves in terms of ej and e2.
2. Give an example of transverse waves in a vacuum.
3. Give the definition of longitudinal waves in terms of ej and e2.
4. Give an example of longitudinal waves in a medium.
Select one or more:
a. An example of longitudinal wave is the guitar string.
b. An example of longitudinal wave is sound waves.
O c. For a longitudinal wave ej || e2.
O d. For a transverse wave ei
O e. For a transverse wave ej || e2
f. Example of a transverse wave in vacuum is sound waves.
g. For a longitudinal wave eí l eź.
O h. Example of a transverse wave in vacuum is electromagnetic waves.
