The examples of matter waves are:
- photo-electrons
- ballistic electrons in Nanotechnology devices (scanning-tunneling microscopy, quantum Hall effect)
- atoms released from a coherent source (atom laser).

∙ 11y agoA transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. One example is an ocean wave, the wave travels towards the shore but the water moves vertically. Another is a wave of light, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

∙ 14y agoWaves in water must be carried by water--i.e. water is the medium. Sound waves must be carried by a medium--i.e. air or water. This is why in space, without the medium of air, there is no sound. Electromagnetic waves--light waves--need no medium.

What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
Polarization is a property of?
Polarization is a property of transverse waves.
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
What is a transverse wave examples?
Examples of the transverse waves include the water and light waves.
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.
What are Example of transverse waves?
Examples of transverse waves would be light waves, seismic waves or any other type of electromagnetic wave.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
What are examples of a wave?
There are two types of waves: 1. Longitudinal wave e.g. Sound waves 2. Transverse wave e.g. light waves
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
Instances in the home where traverse waves are used?
If you mean "transverse" waves, then any electromagnetic wave is transverse- Examples--light and microwaves
What kind of waves are not transverse waves?
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.
Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?
No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Light waves are examples of transverse waves?
Yes. The other type of wave is longitudinal, which is what sound waves are.
