What else can I help you with?
Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves, where the disturbance of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. An example of a transverse wave is light waves, where the disturbance of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
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.
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means that the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's 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 are the two sound waves called?
Longitudnal waves and Transverse Waves
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Can sound waves be transverse in nature?
Yes, sound waves are longitudinal in nature, not transverse.
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Sound waves are transverse waves?
Nope, longitudinal.
What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
Why can't a sound wave be a transverse wave?
Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. (Taken from wikipedia)
How are sound waves transverse in nature?
Sound waves are transverse in nature because the particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
