How can a longitudinal wave be polarized? Polarisation is defined with transversal waves only. So, a longitudinal electrical wave in air is hypothetic. 84.73.189.253 13:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

A simple google search seem to show that mathematically, it's impossible (aka., the equations are not correctly formed to demonstrae this). I think that the equations are considering a homogenous medium and not a hetrogenous medium. This page could help you on longitudinal wave (aka, surface waves) polarized ... http://www.tpub.com/content/neets/14182/css/14182_76.htm (now cited in page) 204.56.7.1 17:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Removed sentence that referred to a standing wave as exhibiting longitudinal propagation - while it may have a longitudinal mode, propagation is as a transverse EM wave. Bert 13:27, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Zenneck wave is not a transverse wave. Restoring sentence. 204.56.7.1 17:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Added TM mode in coax and unshielded conductor along with references. N6gn (talk) 06:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

An editor recently added "Surface waves are combinations of P and S waves" yet S-waves states they are "A type of elastic wave...so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves". These seem contradictory. I am a biologist wishing to understand this physics in the area of animal communication. Could someone clarify this please.__DrChrissy (talk) 18:03, 17 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

this article is a wp:chimera. also, the see-also and external-material sections need cleanup, which will be facilitated by the split. intend do it in a couple of days. thanks. Fgnievinski (talk) 18:49, 23 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wow, took you a long time between making that suggestion and putting the template on the article. I don't entirely agree that this is a chimera, surface waves of all types arise in a similar way. If it is split, the right title would be ground wave for longwave radio transmissions. That is the common name and it already redirects to this section.

P-waves are called by so since they come before the S-waves. Although, the S-waves are more destructive. P-waves are longitudinal waves ahile S-waves are transverse.

In some cases, both longitudinal and transverse waves are used, which is called a surface wave.

For example, an Earthquake uses both types of waves which makes earthquakes a surface wave.

P-waves start with a P because they are primary. S-waves start with an S because they are secondary. 46.185.169.63 (talk) 14:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
