Representation of a longitudinal wave by a sine curve.—Since theparticles of the medium move in the direction of propagation of thewave, it follows that in the case of a longitudinal wave, particlesoriginally in a straight line in the direction of the wave remain… … Fig. 634.—Displacement curve for longitudinal wave. be by means of a row of strokes or dots as in Fig. 632.
