What are all the types waves?

They all carry some sort of energy.Three types of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal, & surface waves. M Some different types of waves are: light, sound, and seismic. Waves can be classified as mechanical or electromagnetic, and transverse or longitudinal. There are many other types of waves depending...TYPES OF BREAKING WAVES: 1.Spilling Breakers 2.Plunging 3.Surging 4.Collapsing 5.Mathematicsyes it is true for all waves.


In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?

They travel at different speeds.


Which of the following types of waves travels at a different speed through different materials?

light waves


How do you compare the energy of two different waves?

To compare the energy of two different waves, you measure their amplitudes


Does the same wave travel at different speeds in different mediums?

Short Answer:The speed of a wave depends very much on the type of the wave and the medium though which it moves.More:Sound waves in air, water waves in the ocean and light waves in space are waves different waves in different mediums and with vastly different speeds. Each of these types of waves changes speed dramatically in different media. Ripples move at a different speed than ocean waves. Light in glass travels at about two thirds of the speed of light in a vacuum and sound waves in metal are much faster than sound waves in air. Another good example is waves from an earthquake, which occur in two different forms and which are regularly experienced as separate shocks from an earthquake.

How do plunging breaker waves form?

They typically form on steep beaches and tend to be more erosive.


What are the types of sea waves?

Take a look:"surface wave." Online Art. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 3 Sept. 2008 http://original.britannica.com/eb/art-2735(To all those who are going to attempt the above link, you need to be registered at Britannica.)Waves are of three types (on the basis of their crashing on the shore):Spilling BreakersIn a Spilling Breaker, the energy which the wave has transported over many miles of sea is released gradually over a considerable distance. The wave peaks up until it is very steep but not vertical. Only the topmost portion of the wave curls over and descends on the forward slope of the wave, where it then slides down into the trough . This process is why these waves may look like an advancing line of foam.Plunging BreakersIn a Plunging Breaker, the energy is released suddenly into a downwardly directed mass of water. A considerable amount of air is trapped when this happens and this air escapes explosively behind the wave, throwing water high above the surface. The plunging breaker is characterized by a loud explosive sound and are more commonly found on the west coast of North America and the Pacific Ocean.Surging BreakersIn surging waves, the wave crest tends to advance faster than the base of the wave, which would suggest the formation of a plunging wave. However, the wave then advances faster than the crest, the plunging is arrested, and the breaker surges up the beach face as a wall of water which may or may not be white water. These waves are usually found on beaches with a very steep slope.
