Those waves in which particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of waves are called longitudinal waves.

These waves consists of Crests (Upper/Positive Part of wave where displacement of medium is maximum) and Troughs(Lower/Negative part of wave where displacement of medium is minimum)


These waves consists of Compressions(region where particles are closer than average) and Rarefactions(region where particles are father apart than average)

The subconscious mind knows how to walk, how to talk and regular working that we repeat time and time again. When we records one time that how to walk then every time we don’t have to think but we just act as the method is recorded in our sub conscious mind. How often we have seen that when we spent some time with a person who is suffering from a disease, after some time we feel that we are also suffering fro...
