What else can I help you with?
Is a elastic wave transverse or longitudinal?
Elastic waves can be both transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves cause particles to oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave, like ripples on a pond. Longitudinal waves cause particles to oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave, like compressional waves in a slinky.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
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 are two examples of waves you can see?
Two examples of waves you can see are ocean waves at the beach and ripples on the surface of a pond or lake.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Waves on the top of a pond or lake are called?
Surface waves

Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
What is a transversal wave?
A transverse wave is a wave that the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are a ripple in a pond and a wave on a string. Transverse waves may occur on a wave, throughout a solid and on the surface of a wave. Transverse waves cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.
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 type of wave is identified as being on the top of a pond or lake?
surface waves
What are two examples of waves you can see?
Two examples of waves you can see are ocean waves at the beach and ripples on the surface of a pond or lake.
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.
A toy boat is bobbing up and down on a pond is being moved by what type of wave?
The toy boat is being moved by a transverse wave on the surface of the pond. Transverse waves cause particles of the medium to move up and down perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
