Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.

What is the the speed of longitudinal waves in water?

The speed of longitudinal waves in water is approximately 1482 meters per second.


Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.


What kind of waves are not transverse waves?

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.


Is a water wave transverse or longitudinal?

Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water. Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.


Where do longitudinal waves travel?

longitudinal waves definitely requires a medium(air,water,solid) in order to transmit it does not travel through vaccum


Are all waves traverse or longitudinal?

Waves can be either transverse or longitudinal. Transverse waves involve oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, like ripples on the water. Longitudinal waves involve oscillations parallel to the direction of wave travel, like sound waves.


Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?

No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.


What produces longitudinal waves?

Longitudinal waves are produced by particles oscillating back and forth in the same direction as the wave's propagation. Examples include sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean.


Are light waves 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.


Where can longitudinal waves be found?

Longitudinal waves can be found in mediums such as air, water, and solids. They are commonly observed in sound waves traveling through air and seismic waves traveling through the Earth's crust.


Water waves are longitudial waves?

Water waves are actually classified as transverse waves, as the displacement of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal waves have particle displacement parallel to the direction of wave propagation.


What are the example of longitudinal waves?

Longitudinal waves are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, oscillations in springs, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
