Industries that have longitudinal waves are cell phones, radio stations, television stations, and other industries that use sound waves.

Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.


Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?

No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.

How are longitudinal waves used in communication?

All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.


Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.


Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.


What are the different types of ultrasonic waves?

There are mainly two types of ultrasonic waves: longitudinal waves and shear waves. Longitudinal waves produce compressions and rarefactions in the medium along the direction of wave propagation, while shear waves produce perpendicular oscillations to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal waves are commonly used in medical imaging applications like ultrasound scans, while shear waves are used in non-destructive testing of materials to detect internal defects.


What statement best describes longitudinal waves?

Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.


What waves arent transverse?

Longitudinal waves are not transverse. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation instead of perpendicular to it like in transverse waves. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?

Sound waves are longitudinal.
