Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
What wave has peaks and valleys?
All of them. Electromagnetic, sound, even a water wave until it hits shore.
What is an example OS a transverse wave?
ripples of water all electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves electromagnetic waves include: gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared waves, microwaves & radio waves Hiya 3/5
What is a wave transfer?
It is not "transfer". it has to be " Transverse" wave. When the particles of the medium does vibrations simple harmonically perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Even electromagnetic wave too is a transverse wave as its electric and magnetic omponents are normal to the direction of propagation.
What waves travel faster sound or light?
Light waves travel faster than sound waves.
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 kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?
A good example is vibrating guitar strings, as they are transverse, but the waves given off are sound, and sound is longtitude.
What kind of waves are not transverse waves?
Waves are often classified as transverse or longitudinal. The sideways vibrations of a string and the surface waves on water are a good examples of transverse waves. Sound waves in fluids (e.g. sound in air, sound traveling under water) are examples of longitudinal waves. In solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What are the two sound waves called?
Longitudnal waves and Transverse Waves
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
Sound waves are always?
transverse wave
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No. Only light. bcoz light is a transverse wave where as sound is a longitudinal wave.electromagnetic consist of all transverse waves
