Of course steady state condition occurs in almost any system but time it will occurs varies among system. for this kind of system, conduction, steady state conduction occurs when the temperature change from one point to the point is already constant. steady state is not achieved immediately because the heat travels and material will not be heated at the same way at the starting point.
First of all Longitudinal waves is a matter in the medium that moves parallel to the direction of the wave travels.
1st example: sound travels parallel.
2nd example: when you talk you will here your voice again. because all the frequency bounce back to you.
In the other hand Transverse wave matter in the medium moves perpendicular to direction the wave travels.
For example: light is a good example of transverse wave.
We know that:
d=vt
d=32mph*5h
d=160mi
