No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
compression
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
S-waves (or Secondary waves) and Love waves are both transverse seismic waves.
The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
No, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not transverse.
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
transverse wave
Sound travels as a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This vibration creates areas of compression and rarefaction, which are responsible for the transmission of sound.
A transverse sound wave moves up and down or side to side, while a longitudinal sound wave moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
Sound.
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
In sound, transverse refers to a wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This is in contrast to longitudinal waves, where the particles move parallel to the wave's direction. Examples of transverse waves in sound include vibrations on a string or the surface of a drum.
