ARE ocean waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Ocean waves are transverse waves because they move up and down.
Why are longitudinal and transverse waves named the way they are?
god wanted it that way
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
What are the features of a transverse wave?
There are two kinds of waves. First, there is a transverse wave. This type of wave causes the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. The amplitude is the height of the wave. The wavelength is the distance from one wave top, or crest, to the next.
What is the best way to describe patience?
concenration,waiting :P
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.

Ocean waves are transverse waves because they move up and down.
Are ocean waves transverse waves?
Ocean waves are transverse. The water goes up and down at right angles to the way the wave is progressing.

What are the kinds of waving?
There are two basic types of waves : transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves are like a wavy line. They consist of a single pulse of energy moving in a curved and wavy way. Light waves are transverse. Longitudinal waves consist of rarefactions and compressions. In a rarefaction, the particles are very sparse. In a compression, the particles are very dense. Sound waves are longitudinal.
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
What are p-waves also known as?
P-waves and primary waves are the same thing. They may also be known as pressure waves (or compression waves) due to their mode of propagation, the way they move through the Earth.
What ocilates in a transverse way?
Place a piece of string on a table and anchor one end so that it cannot move. Shake the other end of the string from left to right, while leaving the string lying flat on the table. You are creating transverse waves or oscillations.

How do you build waves?
The best way to build waves in the water is to run objects through it. Boats often create waves in the water.
Explain why longitudinal and transverse waves are named the way they are?
Longitudinal waves that are produced by earthquake are called primary waves because they are detected by seismometers before the other types of seismic waves due to their higher velocity which means they travel from the epicentre of an earthquake to the seismic station more quickly than the other types of seismic waves.
What type of waves does the shape of the snakes body make as it moves forward?
A transverse wave. The snake moves up and down in a transverse way type of motion....... but it does NOT compress which means it isn't a longitudinal wave. : )Everyone get a Twitter! Fan Bella Thorne... I
