Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
What kind of waves are electromagnetic waves classified as?
They are tranverse waves.
What are the electromagnetic waves that can travel through the vacuum of space?
Tranverse waves.
Are radio waves tranverse?
Yes, like all electromagnetic waves.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
Are sea waves Longditudinal?
The waves on the sea's surface are tranverse, the waves below the surface are longditudinal.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
Seismic waves can be either transverse or compressional. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest, while S-waves are transverse waves that travel slower. Both types of waves are generated by earthquakes and used to study the Earth's interior.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
What is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
What are three facts about compressional waves?
Compressional waves are also known as longitudinal waves, where particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. These waves are characterized by the compression and rarefaction of the medium they travel through. Examples of compressional waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
How is an earthquake related to a tsunami?
Tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor. Tsunamis are also referred to as Seismic Sea Waves
Which type of wave would be beneficial to a surfer?
tranverse waves
