Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave.
They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water.
Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.
What else can I help you with?
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Is a water wave transverse or compressional?
A water wave is a combination of both transverse and longitudinal motion. The water particles move in a circular motion as the wave passes, which means they move both up and down (transverse) and back and forth (longitudinal) in the direction of the wave.
Is a radio a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
its a transverse wave
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Light is transverse in nature.
What parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave transverse in nature?
No, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not transverse.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
What is the difference transverse waves and longitudinal?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
