Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
Compressional
What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
is sunshine a compressional or transverse?
Yes
How does a compressional wave moves?
for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
Is a sound wave compressional or transverse?
Compressional
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
What is found in a compressional wave?
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
The matter transfers the energy, it does not move very far. It circles at approximately the same spot as the wave energy passes.
What types of forces or stresses produces folds in rocks?
Tensional forces and compressional forces.
What are compressional boundarys?
A compressional bounday is plate boundarys that are being compressed
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
Travels to us through compression waves?
Sound is a form energy that travels to us through compressional (or longitudinal) waves.
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
