Ultrasound waves are not transverse waves; they are longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particle displacement occurs parallel to the direction of wave propagation, which is the case for sound waves, including ultrasounds. In contrast, transverse waves, like light waves, have particle displacement perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. Thus, ultrasound is classified as a longitudinal wave.
What else can I help you with?
Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
What kind of waves are electromagnet waves?
They are transverse waves.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
Transverse waves have particles in the medium vibrating perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
What is a sentence for transverse waves?
Transverse waves are funny.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Are X-rays longitudinal or transverse?
X- rays are transverse waves!x rays are electromagnetic waves and transverse .
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
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 ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
