What type of wave would a slinky represent?
A slinky can transfer both longitudinal and transverse waves.
How can a slinky toy demonstrate the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.
The energy of visible light transported by electromagnetic waves are what type of waves?
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What is an example of transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
Give three examples of mechanical waves and identify the medium through which they travel?
There are only two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal waves, and transverse waves..In a longitudinal wave, the waves themselves oscillate, or vibrate, in the same direction as the wave travel. Longitudinal waves are also called compression waves. Sound and seismic P-waves are examples of mechanical longitudinal waves..In a transverse wave, the waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel. Ocean waves and seismic S-waves are examples of mechanical transverse waves..See the related links for further information about longitudinal and transverse waves.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
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.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
What industrial applications have longitudinal waves?
Industries that have longitudinal waves are cell phones, radio stations, television stations, and other industries that use sound waves.
Does diffraction only happen in transverse waves?
No, it is a universal phenomenon for all sorts of waves - both transverse and longitudinal.
Is a example of a mechanical wave?
the Slinky waves need the Slinky, and the waves in the ocean need the water.
