8. sounds waves which are created when a person speaks is what type of wave? a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave? explain. 9. does wave transfer matter? what does wave transfer? 10. how is transverse wave differ from a longitudinal wave? explain.
Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.
In a transverse wave, the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. ... In a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced parallel to the direction the wave travels. An example of longitudinal waves is compressions moving along a slinky
