A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
What else can I help you with?
Which wave cannot travel through air or water?
THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced
What is a transverse wave associated with an earthquake and which cannot move through liquid?
The Secondary or S-wave is a transverse wave associated with earthquakes that can not pass through liquids.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What are the two sound waves that travel through the air?
Transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
Can a transverse wave travel through space?
Yes, transverse waves can travel through space. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, are an example of transverse waves that can propagate through the vacuum of space without the need for a medium.
What transverse wave means?
The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)
Do the vibrations of a transverse wave move in a direction along the direction of wave travel?
No, in a transverse wave, the vibrations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. The particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
What type of wave cannot travel completely through water?
The S Wave (Secondary Wave) cannot travel through water. On the P Wave (Primary Wave) and the Surface Wave can travel through water.
Is radiation a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
Is an infrared wave a transverse wave?
Yes, an infrared wave is a transverse wave. Transverse waves are characterized by oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, and infrared waves exhibit this type of motion as they propagate through space.
Electromagnetic radiation is a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
