Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
Is a longitudinal wave a mechinal wave?
It is not a synonym, in any case. Mechanical waves can be both longitudinal and transverse. Electromagnetic waves are transverse.
Which is a type of mechanical wave?
Longitudinal and transverse are both
What kind of wave can be produced on a slinky?
both, a longitudinal and transverse wave.
Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Is a longitudinal wave a mechinal wave?
It is not a synonym, in any case. Mechanical waves can be both longitudinal and transverse. Electromagnetic waves are transverse.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Which is a type of mechanical wave?
Longitudinal and transverse are both
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
What kind of wave can be produced on a slinky?
both, a longitudinal and transverse wave.
Is a radio a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
its a transverse wave
Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Is an ocean wave a transverse wave?
Water waves are a special example of a combination of transverse and longitudinal oscillation. The individual particles in a water wave move with a circular motion, therefore they have both a vertical and horizontal component to their movement through the wave i.e up and down (Transverse) and side to side (Longitudinal) components.
Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Light is transverse in nature.
Describe two major differences between transverse and longitudinal waves give a practical example of each?
In a transverse wave, the direction of the propagation of the wave is perpendicular tothe direction of the vibration of the source whereas in a longitudinal wave, they both are parallel to each other. A longitudinal wave requires a medium to propagate but a transverse wave requires no medium to travel. Sound is a longitudinal wave and all EM radiation are transverse waves.
