The 10 pages that link to Longitudinal wave, each with the reason it gives.

• AmplitudeRelated: Its amplitude can describe particle displacement or pressure variation along the wave.

• Sound waveBroader topic: In fluids, sound travels through alternating compressions and rarefactions along its direction of travel.

• P wavesNarrower topic: P waves are the seismic example of this broader wave pattern.

• Sound speedRelated: Sound in fluids travels through successive compressions and expansions.

• Sound pressureNarrower topic: In fluids, ordinary sound pressure variations accompany longitudinal motion.

• Transverse waveCompared with: It differs from a transverse wave in the orientation of oscillations.

• Mechanical waveBroader topic: This is one basic mode of mechanical wave motion.

• PlasmonRelated: Bulk plasmons are longitudinal electron-density waves.

• SlinkyRelated: Compression and extension travel along the spring as one end moves toward the next step.

• Stokes's law of sound attenuationRelated: Ordinary sound in fluids is longitudinal, producing alternating compression and expansion.
