Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What name is given to a tidal wave?
Tsunami is the name given to a tidal wave.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What kind of earthquake wave is purely longitudinal?
The P wave
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Are tidal waves longitude or transverse?
Tidal waves are longitudinal waves. They move in the direction of the wave energy transfer, which in this case is the direction of the tide's gravitational pull.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
What is another name for a longitudinal a longitudinal wave?
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
Is sound a longitudinal wave?
Yes, sound is a longitudinal wave.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
Medium vibrates in the same direction as the wave travels?
This type of wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
