Waves are mainly known for their way of transferring energy from one place to another without transferring any matter.Transverse and longitudinal are waves in which can be related to one another in some kind of way. A transverse wave is a wave in which vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the waves motion. As a transverse wave travels through a medium‚ the individual particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel. They may occur in a string‚ in the surface of

nature. Six kinds of shock waves are generated in the process. Two are classified as body waves‚ that is‚ they travel through the inside of the earth and the other four are surface waves. The waves are further classified by the kinds of motions they incur to rock particles. Primary or compressional waves‚ known as P waves‚ send particles moving back and forth in the same direction as the waves are traveling‚ as secondary or transverse shear waves‚ known as S waves‚ create vibrations perpendicular

Within the vertebrate group‚ there exist many classes of animals whose organisms possess unique characteristics. When comparing the cat‚ of the class Mammalia‚ to that of the class Reptilia‚ five attributes that are quite different between the classes are their thermoregulation‚ epidermis‚ metabolic rate‚ reproduction‚ and body structure. Thermoregulation‚ for mammals and reptiles are the opposite of each other when compared together. As mammals are warm-blooded‚ which means reptiles are cold-blooded

A Mechanical longitudinal wave can also be called compression wave as it generates compressions and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. (Sound Is a Pressure Wave - Physics Classroom) The amplitude of a sound wave is the difference between the pressure of the undisturbed air and the maximum pressure caused by the wave. The Speed of sound deviates with the temperature‚ and density of the medium
