What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
Compressional
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
They are best modeled as transverse waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.
Are compressions and rarefactions characteristics of transverse waves?
Transverse waves have crests and troughs. Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
Are tsunamis related to tranverse or compressional waves?
Transverse.
Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
Transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
False. Compressional.
What are examples of electromagnetic waves?
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
What is the difference of compressional waves and transverse waves?
Th angle of vibration is 90 degrees different..
