What else can I help you with?
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Is a tidal wave a longitudinal?
A tidal wave, often referred to as a tsunami, is primarily a series of ocean waves caused by disturbances such as underwater earthquakes. These waves are not classified as longitudinal waves; instead, they are surface waves that involve both longitudinal and transverse wave properties. In contrast, longitudinal waves consist of compressions and rarefactions, like sound waves. Thus, while a tidal wave involves complex motion, it is not purely longitudinal.
Do longitudinal waves travel through solids and liquids?
Confusing question. Try this - sound waves travel though solids and liquids (and gases), and electromagnetic ("radio") waves travel through a vacuum and gases well, les well through liquids such as water, and hardly at all though conducting solids such as metals.
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Are sound waves longlitudanal?
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
What type are the waves that transmit sound?
Sound waves are mechanical longitudinal waves, which means they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. These waves compress and rarefy the molecules in the medium as they travel, transmitting the sound energy from one place to another.
Where can longitudinal waves be found?
Longitudinal waves can be found in mediums such as air, water, and solids. They are commonly observed in sound waves traveling through air and seismic waves traveling through the Earth's crust.
Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means that the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
Longitudinal waves compress the medium they travel though. One example of a longitudinal wave is a?
sound wave. Sound waves are mechanical waves that travel through mediums such as air, water, or solids by compressing and rarefying the particles in the medium as they propagate.
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.
