In what do the particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
compressional wave
How does a compressional wave moves?
for compressional waves, think of a spring. It moves by compressing and contracting. For sinusoidal waves, think of waves on the beach.
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
compressional wave?
this is the waves of p waves that have same direction of waves
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
They are best modeled as transverse waves.
What are compressional waves that move rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
the
Are water waves compressional waves?
Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.
Electromagnetic waves move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels which makes them?
Compressional Waves
What would happen if water waves were Compressional?
They would likely have much less of an impact than real ocean waves do. As it is, the only compressional waves that can move through water are sound waves, as water is, of the most part, incompressible, as are most liquids and solids.
Are sound waves transverse waves or compressional waves Why?
Compressional, gasses can be compressed but cannot be wiggled side to side.
What is the difference between a compressional wave and a shear wave?
shear waves: move side to side, only move through solids, are also called secondary waves, are slower than compressional waves, travel perpendicular to the medium compressional waves: move straight in one direction, can move through solid, liquid and gas, are also called primary waves, are faster, travel parallel to the medium
In particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
The answer is a compressional wave (;

How does a compressional wave moves?

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 is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
