mechanical waves can be both transverse and longitudinal, but all electromagnetic waves are transverse.
A rarefaction can be in a longitudinal and transverse wave. (Longitudinal and transverse wave are both Mechanical waves)
It is not a synonym, in any case. Mechanical waves can be both longitudinal and transverse. Electromagnetic waves are transverse.
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Sound waves and ocean waves are both mechanical waves. But sound waves are longitudinal waves and waves on the ocean are transverse waves. Links can be found below to related questions on what longitudinal and transverse waves are.
Both transverse and longitudinal waves show interference and diffraction effects.
Both Carry Energy, Both are Mechanical waves, Both carry Matter
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
no only, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. Transverse have crest and troughs.
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Transverse waves move up and down. Longitudinal waves move left to right. They are both waves
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Tsunamis are surface waves with both transverse and longitudinal movement.
In solids it is both but in fluids it is only in the form of longitudinal waves
Longitudinal and transverse are both
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
Both transverse and longitudinal waves are mathematically described by the wave equation. They both have periods, frequencies, wavelengths, amplitudes, phases, and velocities.
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.
They are both! P-waves are compressional / longitudinal waves and S-waves are shear / transverse waves.
They are the characteristics of waves ( both longitudinal and transverse waves).
No, it is a universal phenomenon for all sorts of waves - both transverse and longitudinal.
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
Both are forms of mechanical waves but moves or travels differently. Transverse travels perpendicular to it waves while longitudinal are made up of compressions and rarefactions, so no their not interchangeable.
The peak of a longitudinal surface wave is of a higher pressure than the trough. This pressure gradient in the direction of travel exhibits characteristics of both longitudinal and transverse waves.
they both require a medium (matter) to travel through.In longitudinal waves compressions & rare fractions takes place where as in transverse waves crusts & troughs are formed.
