What is the definition of mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.
What are the similarities between ripples in water and electromagnetic waves?
The basic similarities between light and sound include the idea that both move in waves. They have frequency, or wavelength (as they are inverses of each other). They also have speeds of propagation that vary according to the materials through which are propagating.
What are similarities between S-waves P-waves and surface waves?
they start at a earthquake.
What are the similarities between gamma rays and radio waves?
Both are electromagnetic waves.
Similarities between sound waves made by a guitar and sound waves made by a flute?
there are none
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
What are the differences between transverse and longitudinal waves?
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
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.
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.
Are longitudinal waves water waves?
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
What is difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
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.
Who transverse waves are different from longitudinal waves?
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. This means that particles in transverse waves move up and down while particles in longitudinal waves move back and forth. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves, while light waves are examples of transverse waves.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
