Definition of "Longitudinal Waves" |
Those waves in which the disturbance (back and forth motion) takes place in the direction of propagation. Sometimes called compression waves. / Longitudinal waves, also known as l-waves, are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional waves or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. The other main type of wave is the transverse wave, in which the displacements of the medium are at right angles to the direction of propagation. Transverse mechanical waves are also called t-waves or shear waves. / A quad-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual central processing units, which are the units that read and execute program instructions. |
