Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
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
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
Are light radio and sound transverse waves?
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.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
Is light and sound wave transverse waves 8th grade science?
Light waves are transverse. Sound waves are longitudinal ones. This is true no matter what grade you're in, and it'll still be true next year.
Is refraction a property of transverse waves longitudinal waves or both?
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
Light waves are examples of transverse waves?
Yes. The other type of wave is longitudinal, which is what sound waves are.
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.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
