mechanical waves can be both transverse and longitudinal, but all electromagnetic waves are transverse.
No, electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal waves. They are transverse waves.
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Longitudinal: Sound Transverse: Light
Ultraviolet waves are transverse.
s waves are transverse
transverse waves are mechanical!
heat waves are transverse
Sonic waves are transverse
I could say longitudinal
Radio waves are transverse waves.
longitudinal
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Both transverse and longitudinal waves show interference and diffraction effects.
Particles in transverse waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave and those in longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves are transverse waves while sound waves are longitudinal. In general waves are quaternion and contain a real /longitudinal wave and a vector/transverse wave.
A rarefaction can be in a longitudinal and transverse wave. (Longitudinal and transverse wave are both Mechanical waves)
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
no only, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. Transverse have crest and troughs.
A longitudinal wave is a "side-on" waveform. A transverse Wave is a "end-on" waveform.
Transverse waves move up and down. Longitudinal waves move left to right. They are both waves
Longitudinal waves vibrate in the direction of the wave travel and transverse waves vibrate perpendicular (transverse) to the direction of wave travel.
Waves are often classified as transverse or longitudinal. The sideways vibrations of a string and the surface waves on water are a good examples of transverse waves. Sound waves in fluids (e.g. sound in air, sound traveling under water) are examples of longitudinal waves. In solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Like all types of electromagnetic wave, ultraviolet waves are transverse waves. Longitudinal waves are normaly sound or preasure waves.
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
