Are microwave wave longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transverse waves in that the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
How is a microwave an example of a transverse wave?
A microwave is an electromagnetic wave, which is a form of transverse wave. In transverse waves, the vibration or oscillation of the wave occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a microwave oven, the transverse microwave radiation heats and cooks food by causing water molecules to vibrate at high frequencies.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
What kind of waves are electromagnet waves?
They are 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 have particles in the medium vibrating perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
What is a sentence for transverse waves?
Transverse waves are funny.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Are X-rays longitudinal or transverse?
X- rays are transverse waves!x rays are electromagnetic waves and transverse .
Are Electromagnetic waves imaginary longitudinal or transverse waves?
They are transverse waves. In their plane-wave form the electric and magnetic fields E and H are in the ratio of the free-space wave-impedance, they are in time phase and space quadrature, and the vector product ExH is the Poynting vector which lies in the direction of travel. Incidentally ... they are very real. Otherwise radio wouldn't work, sun-tan wouldn't exist, plants couldn't grow, meatloaf could not heat in a microwave oven, and you could never SEE anything.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
