(Shear waves are also called 'transverse waves.'); Compression Wave: A wave in which the disturbance is a compression of the medium. (Compression waves are also called 'longitudinal waves.') ... In the animation you may choose to see either shear waves or compression waves. Observe that for shear waves, the motion of...

Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Longitudinal waves are waves that have the same direction of oscillations or vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel, which means that the oscillations of the medium (particle) is i...

Sound is a series of longitudinal or compression waves that move through air or other materials. Sound does not travel in a vacuum. ... The rapid back-and-forth vibration of an object creates the longitudinal or compression waves of sound. Longitudinal waves are waves that oscillate in the same path that the sound wave...

Back-and-forth motion creates compression or longitudinal waves. ... Waves are distortions in a material that may be transverse, compression or a combination of those movements. Light, sound and AC electric waves are important waveforms. The characteristics of a waveform are wavelength, amplitude, velocity, and frequency.
