A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
Is an electromagnetic wave transverse or compressional?
Transverse :)
Is a water wave transverse or compressional?
yes
What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
How is the density at a compression in a compressional wave like the height of a transverse wave?
The amount of compression of a compression wave is like the amplitude of a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.

Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
Is a water wave transverse or compressional?
yes
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

What does a trough of a transverse wave correspond to in a compressional wave?
low density.
How is the density at a compression in a compressional wave like the height of a transverse wave?
The amount of compression of a compression wave is like the amplitude of a transverse wave.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
Is light a mechanial wave or an electromagnetic wave A tranverse wave or a compressional wave?
electromagnetic, transverse
