What else can I help you with?
What do longitudinal waves have to do with earthquakes?
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
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.
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.
Is an earthquake wave a longitudinal ver a transverse wave?
It can be either.
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
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.
Is a radio a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
its a transverse wave
What wave is partly longitudinal and partly transverse?
Earthquake waves , electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves..
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Light is transverse in nature.
What do longitudinal waves have to do with earthquakes?
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
What parts of the transverse wave are analogous to the parts of a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave transverse in nature?
No, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not transverse.
