Are shock waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Shock waves are a type of longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What is another word for seismic waves?
earthquake wave or shock wave
Which type of wave has the longest wave- length?
Radio waves
What is the shock wave sent through the planet by an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
Are there shock waves after a large clap of thunder?
Thunder is a shock wave. Refer to the web link below.
What type of wave can travel to space?
im pretty sure shock waves do. and light wave def. do.
What wave is produced in nuclear explosions?
Nuclear explosions produce a combination of shock waves, heat waves, and electromagnetic waves. The initial shock wave is the most destructive component, causing widespread damage and destruction near the explosion site.
What is the longest wave length?
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with longest wavelength.
Do explosive shock waves propigate in a vacuum?
No, explosive shock waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the shock wave to travel through, so it would not propagate.
What is another name for pressure wave?
"Tide" or a faster wave would be a "White cap"
What wave has longest wave length?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength among the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from several meters to kilometers in length.
What is the wave length that is shorter than a light wave?
Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than visible light waves.
