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 is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart?
A longitudinal wave can go through solids, liquids, and gases.A transversal wave will usually only go through solids. (Electromagnetic waves, however, can also go through empty space.)
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
In which directions do longitudinal lines go?
The longitudinal lines run north-south across the globe, splitting Earth up into the eastern and western hemispheres.
What are the lines that measure east and west on the globe?
The lines that go east to west are longitudinal.
Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
How many degrees are there in a horizontel line?
Longitudinal lines themselves are imaginary constructs, having no real width, and therefore, no angle to measure. The angle between longitudinal lines on a globe depend on how many longitudinal lines are used to encircle the globe. Assuming that all longitudinal lines are equidistant, the angle can be found by dividing 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. Typically, a globe will be given 36 lines of longitude, so the angle between longitudinal lines is equal to 360 degrees divided by 36 lines, or 10 degrees.
What are imaginary lines that go through the north pole and south pole called?
longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west
What are lines opposite of the transversal lines?
Either parallel lines or longitudinal lines are opposite transversal lines.
How many degrees of longitude does the Earth rotation cover?
A complete globe, including Earth, always has 360 degrees. There can be an infinite number of longitudinal lines because longitudinal lines are imaginary constructs and not physical features of Earth itself, so the number of degrees between those longitudinal lines is dependent on the number of longitudinal lines, assuming the longitudinal lines are equidistant. To calculate the number of degrees between these equidistant longitudinal lines, divide 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. A model globe of Earth is typically given 36 lines of longitude. Using the calculation given above, the angle between adjacent longitudinal lines is 360 degrees divided by 36 lines of longitude, or 10 degrees. If 24 lines of longitude are used to represent the 24 time zones, the angle between adjacent longitudinal lines is 360 degrees divided by 24 lines of longitude, or 15 degrees.
What are the longitudinal lines of rome?

Is there a poem to help remember longitude and Latitude lines?
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?
The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are called longitudinal lines or longitude. The lines parallel to the equator are called latitudinal lines or latitude. Yes. they are.
Which lines are longitudinal lines?
In general, longitudinal lines run in the direction of the length (longer dimension) of a thing. On a globe or map representing Earth or another celestial object, longitudinal lines run north-south, from pole to pole. Because they meet at two points, they are neither parallel nor equidistant.
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
