Longitudinal wave(Redirected from Longitudinal waves)
Longitudinal waves, also referred to as compressional waves or pressure waves, are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel and can be a wave in which the motion of the medium is in the same direction to the motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, and seismic P-waves created by earthquakes and explosions.
