Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Sound waves are always?
transverse wave
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
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.
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Sound waves are always?
transverse wave
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Are light radio and sound transverse waves?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
A sound wave is a transverse wave?
No. At least in a gas and liquid, mechanical waves, including sound, can only propagate as longitudinal waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
What are the two sound waves that travel through the air?
Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
