Are light waves longitudinal?

Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.

No, light waves are not longitudinal waves. Light is an example of a transverse wave, like a wave moving across the surface of water. Sound or seismic waves are examples of longitudinal waves.

No. light travels as transverse waves.

No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.

light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.

Yes longitudinal waves can be diffracted. Example: Light waves.

Light waves are Transverse Waves

Longitudinal: Sound Transverse: Light

No, it travels in transverse waves.

Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)

Sound, Light, Radio waves.

Yes, only sound waves are longitudinal

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.

transverse; longitudinal.

X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves

Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.

Sound waves must travel through a medium, light does not require a medium. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, light are transverse waves.

Yes. The other type of wave is longitudinal, which is what sound waves are.

No, electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal waves. They are transverse waves.

Yes. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Sound travels in longitudinal waves. A longitudinal wave is the vibration of particles parallel to the direction in which the wave moves. However, light travels in transverse waves. a transverse wave is when the particles are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the waves.

light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal

electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).

of it depend upon the non mechanical waves and the mechanical waves. sound waves are paralell to the motion of the sound it is longitudinal while light waves are transverse

Sound waves are always longitudinal waves.
