Do fluids usually transmit only transverse waves?
Only transmit longitudinal 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.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Are em waves longitudinal are transverse?
EM waves are both Transverse and Longitudinal.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Do fluids usually transmit only transverse waves?
Only transmit longitudinal waves
Can Fluids transmit P waves?
Yes, P (longitudinal) waves can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous mediums.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse 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.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
