Are infrared waves longitudinal?
No. Infrared is a type of electromagnetic waves, and therefore, a transverse wave.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Does longitudinal wave exhibit diffraction?
Yes longitudinal waves can be diffracted. Example: Light waves.
What is an example of transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Example of longitudinal wave?
Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases
What is an example of a longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are an example of Longitudinal waves. They are waves in which the particle is displaced in a parallel direction to the direction of velocity of the wave. They are formed by a compression and expansion of particles.sound is an example for longitudinal wavesound waveLongitudinal waves, also known as "l-waves", are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave.
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
Sound is example of what wave?
sound is an example of a light wave.
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
