Waves that move up and down are called?
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and waves on a guitar string.
Are S waves transverse or longitudinal?
S waves are transverse waves, which means the particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is in contrast to P waves, which are longitudinal waves where the particles vibrate parallel to the wave direction.
What is A wave that is a combination of longitude and transverse wave?
The combination of a transverse waves and a longitudinal waves produce surface waves. The waves found in water are a good example. When a wave moves through the waver, particles travel in clockwise circles, and the radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases.
What are the two different types of waves?
transverse and longitudinal Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs). Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.
Are Electromagnetic waves imaginary longitudinal or transverse waves?
They are transverse waves. In their plane-wave form the electric and magnetic fields E and H are in the ratio of the free-space wave-impedance, they are in time phase and space quadrature, and the vector product ExH is the Poynting vector which lies in the direction of travel. Incidentally ... they are very real. Otherwise radio wouldn't work, sun-tan wouldn't exist, plants couldn't grow, meatloaf could not heat in a microwave oven, and you could never SEE anything.
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 and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
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
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
What is a true statement about transverse waves?
Transverse waves are characterized by particles in the medium moving perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves. Transverse waves exhibit properties such as polarization and diffraction.
