Can transverse waves travel through empty space?
Sure, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
What is the difference between longitual waves and transverse waves?
longitudinal waves travel in the direction parallel to the Surface, which are P waves, and transverse waves travel in the direction perpendicular to the surface, which causes destructive earthquakes. Which are S waves.
In what kind of waves do sound ravel in?
Longitudinal waves. The other category of waves, transverse waves, can't travel in a gas. This is valid in the case of mechanical waves; because electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves, and they can travel even in a vacuum.
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
What is transverse wave in science terms?
A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
Can transverse waves travel through empty space?
Sure, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
What waves travel at 90 degree angles?
Transverse waves.
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.

A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
What type of waves move across the direction of travel?
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
What is the nature of light and electromagnetic waves?
they are transverse waves, they can travel through a vacuum,
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Do transverse waves need medium to travel?
Yes, but only EM waves don't.
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.
