Argumentative Essay

This document discusses longitudinal waves. It defines longitudinal waves as waves where the direction of vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. An example given is sound waves in air, where the medium of air is compressed and expanded along the direction of sound wave propagation. The key characteristics of longitudinal waves are discussed, including that they consist of alternating regions of density and strain along the propagation medium. Wavelength is defined as the distance between two points of equal density or strain. Examples of longitudinal waves mentioned include waves propagating along a spring or slinky toy.

Longitudinal wave

Waves are vibrations that propagate in a medium or without medium with no propagation
along the parts of the medium itself. Longitudinal wave is a wave vibration direction parallel to
the direction of wave propagation. A series of density and strain propagate along the spring.
Density is the area where the coil spring toward each other, whereas strain is a region where the
coil spring menjahui each other. Longitudinal waves consisting of density and strain patterns.
Wavelength is the distance between successive density or strain sequence. Is meant here is the
distance of two points and the same sequence on the density or strain. Waves occur in the form
of density and renggangan. Examples of such longitudinal waves slingki / spring is pulled to the
side and then released.

 
If there is a wave that has a vibration direction perpendicular to the direction
rambatannya, whether there is a wave that has a direction of vibration in the direction of the
waves, the answer is no. Wave in question is a longitudinal wave.
To find out more clearly the scheme of longitudinal waves, let us consider the image below:
 Pictured above is a spring that vibrated at the end. If we look at the picture above we can see
that the direction of vibration in the direction of the waves, so-called longitudinal waves. A
series of density and strain propagate along the spring. Density is the area where the coil spring
toward each other, longitudinal waves consisting of density and strain patterns. Wavelength is
the distance between successive density or strain sequence. Is meant here is the distance of two
points and the same sequence on the density or strain (see example in the picture above).
Lots of examples of longitudinal waves that occur in everyday life. One example is sound waves
in air. Air as the medium of propagation of sound waves, close together and stretched along the
direction of propagation of the air. Unlike the water waves or waves of string, sound waves can
not we see the use of the eye. If someone likes listening to music, he's usually playing with a
loud volume. If you have time try to see a loudspeaker. Note the movement of the loudspeaker,
would move back and forth. It will result in vibration, and vibration that will result in air density
and the strain causing the sound waves. We now know why the source of the sound must vibrate,
because the vibration of air will form a longitudinal wave that will cause the sound waves.
Examples of longitudinalwaves:
- Waves in slinki tied at both ends stative then given fault-finding on one end

- Sound waves in air


A. Wavelength
A. Definition of Wavelength
One wave length equal to the distance traveled in one period.
1) The wavelength of the transverse wave
Consider the following illustration!

In the transverse wave, a wave consists of 3 vertices and 2 stomach. The distance between two
nodes or two successive abdomen called the half-wavelength or ½ λ(lambda),
2) The wavelength of the wave longitudina
Consider the following illustration!

) consists of a density and a reggangan.lIn the longitudinal wave, the wave (1


B. Creep fast wave
The distance traveled by the wave in one second so-called fast propagation of the wave. Rapid
propagation of the wave is denoted by v and the unit m / s or m s-1. The relationship between v,
f, λ, and T .
Description:λ = wavelength, unit meter (m)
v = velocity of wave propagation, units meters / second (ms-1)
T = period of wave, a second or a second unit (s)
f = frequency of the wave, or 1/sekon 1/second unit (s-1)

The formula of the second wave are:

V V = λ f = λ / T
