What else can I help you with?
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
What has hands but can not wave?
A clock has hands but cannot wave.
Name one example of each type of wave?
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
Give one example of a model that is used to learn about things that cannot be seen?
One example of a model used to learn about things that cannot be seen is the particle/wave duality model in quantum mechanics. This model describes how particles, such as electrons, can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, even though these properties cannot be directly observed simultaneously.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
In the visible spectrum the color of light that has the shortest wave length is?
Violet, after that comes ultraviolet that the human eye cannot see.
What is an example of a body wave?
An example of a body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the Earth's interior, such as a P-wave or S-wave. These waves can travel through solids and liquids and are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.
A sound wave is an example of?
A longitudinal wave.
What transverse wave means?
The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)
Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio wave?
Radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave because it is an example of an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
