transverse waves are...well.. wavy when compression waves are like a domino affect or like pushing a spring the similarities is that the both transport power from point a to point b however their movement is very different
Longitudinal waves are scalar waves with the divergence of the vector vibration, Del.dEv/cdt . Transverse waves are vector waves with the curl of the vector vibration, DelxdEv/cdt
Both of the waves have a wavelength. The particle movement is the difference between them.
they both need medium to travel. :)
Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.
The basic similarities between light and sound include the idea that both move in waves. They have frequency, or wavelength (as they are inverses of each other). They also have speeds of propagation that vary according to the materials through which are propagating.
they start at a earthquake.
Both are electromagnetic waves.
there are none
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
transverse and longitudinal
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
these
transverse waves.
s waves are transverse
Sonic waves are transverse
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Longitudinal
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
