What else can I help you with?
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
What are the example of longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, oscillations in springs, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
Sound waves are waves?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
What waves arent transverse?
Longitudinal waves are not transverse. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation instead of perpendicular to it like in transverse waves. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
What statement best describes longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic 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.
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
