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. Sho…

Explanation of Solution

  • In a longitudinal wave, the energy propagation is in the direction of motion, while the energy propagation is perpendicular to the direction of motion in a transverse wave.
  • Longitudinal waves contain sound and waves, a spring produced by extension and contraction. Transverse waves include the vibration of string and "wave" instruments in a stadium.
  • Longitudinal wave cannot be polarized, and transverse waves can be polarized.
  • Figure of longitudinal wave:
