Name an example of a transverse wave?
Snapping a whip.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
What are the examples of the pendulum motion?
transverse wave is an example of pendulum motion.
What does transverse waves mean?
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.)
Give one example of transverse waves?
Radio waves and Light. Audio waves are not considered transverse. Since pressure is a constant, it eliminates a vector, thus making it a longitudinal wave.
What is definition of transverse shear?
Look it The shearing action/force which takes place in y-direction(transverse dirn.)is known as transverse shear...........
What is the homophone of sheer?
Shear is the homophone for sheer. An example sentence for shear: One of his duties on the farm was to shear the sheep.
Is a transverse wave a electromagentic wave?
No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.
What is the only kind of wave that does not need a solid liquid or gas medium to pass through?
Shear / transverse waves do not travel through liquids.
Light wave are an example of transverse waves?
yes it is
Name an example of a transverse wave?
Snapping a whip.
What kind of stresses are produced in a beam during transverse vibration?
If you load it normal to the beam axis you get bending stresses ( tension and compression) and shear stresses. If you load it along the axis you get axial stress ( tension or compression)
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.
What has the author R J Kershaw written?
R. J. Kershaw has written: 'A multilayer beam theory incorporating transverse shear, rotary and longitudinal inertia effects' -- subject(s): Mechanical properties, Shear (Mechanics), Fibrous composites, Laminated materials, Damping (Mechanics)
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
Sound waves and Primary Earthquake waves are longitudinal.
What waves are slower than those that originate at the focus?
The waves that are slower that those that originate at the focus are called secondary waves or S-waves. They are shear waves that are transverse in nature.
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
