Question:

What is the wavelength in transverse and longitudinal waves?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

In transverse waves, the wavelength is the distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the adjacent wave e.g. the distance from two crests, troughs, or in the middle. And in longitudinal waves the wavelength is from one compression or rarefaction to the next compression or rarefaction.
