Does a wave in a lasso travel as a transverse or longitudinal wave?

Best Answer

It travels as a transverse wave. A longitudinal wave would mean the the rope is stretching and compressing. The fact that you see displacement perpendicular to the rope means it is transverse.

The wave in a lasso travel's as a "transverse wave".
A longitudianl wave would mean the rope is stretching and compressing.
Because you see displacemnet perpendicular to the rope means it is transverse.

Does the wave in a lasso travel as a transverse or longitudinal wave?

i dont know the correct answer for this question.

Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?

A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.

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.

Is a radio wave longitudinal?

Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave

Who transverse waves are different from longitudinal waves?

A longitudinal wave is a "side-on" waveform. A transverse Wave is a "end-on" waveform.
