Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
What do transverse waves and longitudnal waves have in common?
Transverse waves and longitudinal waves are both types of mechanical waves. They both transfer energy through a medium, but their motion and displacement of particles in the medium differ. In transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while in longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Example of longitudinal wave?
Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
What do transverse waves and longitudnal waves have in common?
Transverse waves and longitudinal waves are both types of mechanical waves. They both transfer energy through a medium, but their motion and displacement of particles in the medium differ. In transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while in longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Example of longitudinal wave?
Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases
Where do longitudinal waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
