Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.

what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?
No, water waves are mechanical waves.
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
What are 3 types of waves?
transverse, longitudial, and surface waves
what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
What muscles are involved in gidestion?
smooth muscles(circular and longitudial)
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
What are Three principal axis of rotation for the human body?
longitudial transverse and medial
Is water waves a electromagnetic wave?
No, water waves are mechanical waves.
Are longitudinal waves water waves?
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
How are water waves different from electromagnetic waves?
electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.
Are light waves and water waves examples of transverse waves?
Yes (but not sound in water)
What is longitudial wave?
A longitudinal wave is a scalar wave with the vibration parallel to the central direction of propagation.
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
How do peaks and valleys create water waves?
Peaks and valleys to not create water waves, they are characteristic elements of water waves.
