s waves are transverse
A good example is vibrating guitar strings, as they are transverse, but the waves given off are sound, and sound is longtitude.
The two types of body waves are longitudinal and transverse waves. In seismology longitudinal waves are known as P-waves (P = primary as they are detected by seismometers before the other seismic waves) and transverse waves are known as S-waves (S = secondary). In longitudinal waves the material oscillates or moves backwards and forwards parallel to the direction of wave motion (a bit like someone opening and closing an accordion). In transverse waves, the material oscillates normal (at 90 degrees) to the direction of wave motion.
transverse and longitudinal Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs). Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
transverse and longitudinal
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
these
transverse waves.
Sonic waves are transverse
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Longitudinal
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
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.
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
