Comparison To Other Waves
| Wave Types in Solids | Particle Vibrations |
| Longitudinal | Parallel to wave direction |
| Transverse (Shear) | Perpendicular to wave direction |
| Surface - Rayleigh | Elliptical orbit - symmetrical mode |
| Plate Wave – Lamb | Component perpendicular to surface (extensional wave) |
| Plate Wave – Love | Parallel to plane layer, perpendicular to wave direction |
| Stoneley (Leaky Rayleigh Waves) | Wave guided along interface |
| Sezawa | Antisymmetric mode |

Famous quotes containing the words comparison to other, comparison and/or waves:
“It is very important not to become hard. The artist must always have one skin too few in comparison to other people, so you feel the slightest wind.”
—Shusha Guppy (b. 1938)
“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
“And the waves sing because they are moving.
And the waves sing above a cemetery of waters.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
