Describe two major differences between transverse and longitudinal waves give a practical example of each?
In a transverse wave, the direction of the propagation of the wave is perpendicular tothe direction of the vibration of the source whereas in a longitudinal wave, they both are parallel to each other. A longitudinal wave requires a medium to propagate but a transverse wave requires no medium to travel. Sound is a longitudinal wave and all EM radiation are transverse waves.
Can light waves and sound waves interfere with each other if yes why?
No, light waves and sound waves cannot interfere with each other because they are different types of waves that travel through different mediums and have distinct properties. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can interfere with each other, but they do not interfere with sound waves because sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solids) to travel through.
What does light energy travel in?
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel.
What is a term used to describe waves that bend around objects called?
Diffraction is the term used to describe waves bending around obstacles or through openings. This phenomenon is a result of the interference of waves with each other.
Which describes how electromagnetic waves travel?
Electromagnetic waves travel through space at the speed of light in a wave-like pattern, with oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum.
When two men walk on the moon they cannot hear each other why?
Sound waves travel via vibrating molecules in air or other materials (water for example). On the Moon there is no atmosphere and as such nothing for sound waves to travel in.

Is sound waves longitude waves?
logitudional waves travel by air particals they touchg each other and pass won the vibration

Do waves bounce off each other or go through each other?
Waves can interact in different ways depending on their type and properties. Some waves, like electromagnetic waves, can pass through each other without interacting. Other types of waves, like water waves, can reflect off each other when they collide.
Which describes how electromagnetic waves travel?
Electromagnetic waves travel through space at the speed of light in a wave-like pattern, with oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum.
Why are plane waves are called plane?
Plane waves travel parallel to each other in the same plane hence the name.
What are five ways electromagnetic waves differ from each other?
Frequency: Electromagnetic waves have different frequencies, which determine their position in the electromagnetic spectrum. Wavelength: Each electromagnetic wave has a specific wavelength that corresponds to its frequency. Energy: Different electromagnetic waves have different energy levels, with higher frequency waves carrying more energy. Speed: Electromagnetic waves all travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but their speeds can differ when passing through different mediums. Propagation: Electromagnetic waves can travel through various mediums, such as air, water, or glass, with some waves being able to penetrate more easily than others.
What are the properties of electromagnetic waves?

Which wave is a body wave?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
