What else can I help you with?
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
Is light and sound wave transverse waves 8th grade science?
Yes, light and sound waves can both be categorized as transverse waves. Light waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves, while usually studied as longitudinal waves, can also be treated as transverse waves in certain cases, such as in solids.
Give one example of transverse waves?
Radio waves and Light. Audio waves are not considered transverse. Since pressure is a constant, it eliminates a vector, thus making it a longitudinal wave.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Is refraction a property of transverse waves longitudinal waves or both?
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes, both light waves and water waves are examples of transverse waves. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, which is observed in both these types of waves.
