It is not a synonym, in any case. Mechanical waves can be both longitudinal and transverse. Electromagnetic waves are transverse.
Add your answer:
Is a sonic wave a tranverse wave or a Longitudinal wave?
A longitudinal wave.
Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Sound is a transverse or longitudinal wave?
longitudinal wave
Is sound a longitudinal or transverse wave?
It is a Longitudinal wave.
Why is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave because it compresses the air and a longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave.
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave?
a sound wave is longitudinal. this is because the wave compress and expand the air particles around them. ( that is what a longitudinal wave does).
What type of wave is a longitudinal wave?
Well a longitudinal wave is actually a horizontal wave.
Is a longitudinal wave a sound wave?
Yes , a longitudinal wave is for sure a sound wave.
What can not travel trough a longitudinal wave?
another longitudinal wave
What type of wave is a sound wave transverse or longitudinal?
Longitudinal.
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Is rarefaction in a longitudinal or transverse wave?
A rarefaction can be in a longitudinal and transverse wave. (Longitudinal and transverse wave are both Mechanical waves)
Whatis a longitudinal wave?
longitudinal wave is a wave which contains a rare fraction and a compresssion.
Is a sound wave a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

How is the amplitude of a longitudinal wave measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
Is a longitudinal wave a mechanical wave?
