Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves

- Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves through air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum because they don't require a medium and consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
- Longitudinal waves vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagation, like sound waves. Transverse waves, on the other hand, vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves.
- Surface waves travel along the boundary between two media, like ocean waves on the surface of water. Standing waves are formed by the interference of two waves traveling in opposite directions through the same medium, creating points of no motion called nodes.

What are 3 types of waves when an earthquake happens?
they are primary, secondary, and surface waves
How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
3 main, not sure if there's other devices. (seismoscope, seismometer, ???)
What are 3 types of waves?
Three types of waves are mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and matter waves. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through, such as sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum and include light waves and radio waves. Matter waves are associated with particles at the quantum level and exhibit wave-particle duality.
What are the types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
All electromagnetic (EM) waves are in the EM spectrum. This is from "ELF" (3-30hz) through visible light (300Thz+), out past gamma rays. Any wave above DC that broadcasts into space is part of the EM spectrum.
What are tertiary waves?
There are 3 main waves types associated with earthquakes. P(primary), S (secondary and T (tertiary). Both P and S waves are body waves and occur rather quickly. Tertiary waves are waves that are slower than P and S and are recorded in the SOFAR regions of the ocean and occur due to multiple reflections of the wave between the sea floor and sea surface.
