2.0 Displacement and pressure Waves
2.2 Relation between pressure wave and density wave
A longitudinal sound wave which can be expressed in terms of the longitudinal displacement of the particles of the medium is known as displacement wave.
A longitudinal sound wave which can be expressed in terms of excess pressure produced due to compression or refraction is known as pressure wave.
