What else can I help you with?
Are electromagnetic waves longitudinal waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal waves. They are transverse waves, meaning the oscillations of the wave are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
How waves classified?
waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
What are two ways waves can be classified as?
Waves can be classified as mechanical or electromagnetic based on how they travel through a medium. They can also be classified as transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of oscillation compared to the direction of wave propagation.
Are electromagnetic waves longitudinal or transverse in nature?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
Are electromagnetic waves longitudinal in nature?
No, electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal in nature. They are transverse waves, meaning that the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
Are electromagnetic waves longitudinal waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal waves. They are transverse waves, meaning the oscillations of the wave are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
What is the waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves

What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
X-ray longitudinal or transverse?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic waves; electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
What are wave classification?
Mechanical waves are produced when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. Mechanical waves are classified by how they move. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse means "across." Longitude means "horizontal". Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. by how they move
Is infared a transverse or longitudinal wave?
No doubt about it; infra red rays are transverse in nature. Only sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. Infra red belongs to that family of electromagnetic waves.
What are the three main types of waves?
1.Longitudinal waves 2. Transverse waves
