    Undergrad Understanding Sound Wave Amplitude in the Equation s=Sm cos(kx-wt)

    but how does mechanical longitudinal wave travel in solid, liquid and gas medium? and transverse mechanical wave (such as in rope)travels only in solid medium?

    Undergrad Understanding Sound Wave Amplitude in the Equation s=Sm cos(kx-wt)

    why does longitudinal waves can propagate through solid, liquid and gas? and not transverse except in solid?

    High School Whats the difference between progressive wave and stationary waves ?

    thanz. and i have got one more question. [FONT="Arial Black"]why does transverse wave only travels in solid medium? and longitudinal wave in solid, liquid and gas? my physics teacher said something about shear strain and its relation to these waves but i did not get him quite right. please can...
