P-waves and S-waves.
P waves are known as Primary waves as they have a high velocity and so are recorded at seismometer stations before Secondary or S-waves.
P waves may also be known as pressure waves as they are in fact compression or longitudinal waves. S-waves may also be known as shear waves as they are transverse waves.
Longitudinal waves are caused by oscillations in the same direction as the wave is traveling, while transverse waves are caused by oscillations perpendicular to the direction of the wave. These oscillations can be created by disturbances or vibrations in a medium, such as air or water. Different sources, such as sound or seismic activity, can produce longitudinal and transverse waves.
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
They are transverse waves.
Transverse waves have particles in the medium vibrating perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
In physics, transverse refers to a wave that oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its propagation. This means that the disturbance of the medium caused by the wave occurs in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
Transverse waves are funny.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
X- rays are transverse waves!x rays are electromagnetic waves and transverse .
Transverse waves are created by a back-and-forth motion or vibration of an object. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves and water waves.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
