What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
What kind of waves are electromagnet waves?
They are transverse waves.
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
What kind of wave does sound travel through?
Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.
What kind of waves are not transverse waves?
Waves are often classified as transverse or longitudinal. The sideways vibrations of a string and the surface waves on water are a good examples of transverse waves. Sound waves in fluids (e.g. sound in air, sound traveling under water) are examples of longitudinal waves. In solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What kind of waves is water waves?
Transverse wave
What kind of wave is a surface wave?
Surface waves are transverse waves.
In what kind of waves do sound ravel in?
Longitudinal waves. The other category of waves, transverse waves, can't travel in a gas. This is valid in the case of mechanical waves; because electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves, and they can travel even in a vacuum.
What kind of wave does sound make?
Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.
What kind of waves is electromagnetic radiation?
Transverse Wave
Wave that moves back and forth?
True. The up-down type of wave is called a "transverse wave". Light, for example, is this kind of wave. Sound, however, is a different kind of wave. It is the back-forth type, called "longitudinal", or "compression" waves.
Which kind of waves requires a medium?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
