Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
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 is the highest pint of the transverse wave called?
The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
A wave ceated by a shaking rope up and down is called?
transverse wave
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What is a wave that occurs at the surface betwene to mediums?
transverse wave
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.
How is a microwave an example of a transverse wave?
A microwave is an electromagnetic wave, which is a form of transverse wave. In transverse waves, the vibration or oscillation of the wave occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a microwave oven, the transverse microwave radiation heats and cooks food by causing water molecules to vibrate at high frequencies.
What type of particle vibration occurs in transverse wave?
oscillatory motion
Are light waves transverse waves?
Yes, light waves are transverse, because in light wave, disturbance of the medium occurs at right angles to the direction of wave propagation of wave.
What kind of wave occurs when you shake a wave up and down?
A transverse wave occurs when you shake a wave up and down. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This creates a wave where the crests and troughs move in a direction that is different from the movement of the individual particles.
What is a wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse and longitudinal waves combine?
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
What is the wave that is combination of transverse and longitude waves are called?
A wave that is a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves is called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two mediums, exhibiting characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves. These waves are commonly seen in earthquakes and ocean waves.
Is light a transverse wave or a compressal wave?
A transverse wave
Is a radio a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
its a transverse wave
What does transverse mean in physics?
In physics, transverse refers to a wave that oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its propagation. This means that the disturbance of the medium caused by the wave occurs in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
