What is the difference between A transverse wave versus a compression wave?
A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are surface waves compression waves or transverse waves?
First, it's not called compression wave but a longitudinal wave, second, neither and both because it's a mix of both. For it looks like a transvers, but moves in circles like a longitudinal wave.
Are longitudinal waves traveling through the ground transverse?
No, longitudinal waves are compression waves that travel through the ground by causing particles to move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Transverse waves, on the other hand, cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
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 kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Are surface waves compression waves?
No. surface waves on the surface of water is transverse in nature. It has crests and troughs. Compression and rarefaction will be in longitudinal wave. example sound waves.
What are waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?
Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).
How are compression and transverse waves the same?
Here is a good site for learning about waves. Hope it helps. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/waves/
Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?
No, sunlight and radiowaves are not compression waves. Sunlight consists of electromagnetic waves, while radiowaves are a type of electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency range. Compression waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves.
What is the difference between A transverse wave versus a compression wave?
A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Can ultrasonic waves be polarized?
No, ultrasonic waves cannot be polarized because they are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium by vibration and compression, unlike electromagnetic waves which can be polarized due to their transverse nature.
Are surface waves compression waves or transverse waves?
First, it's not called compression wave but a longitudinal wave, second, neither and both because it's a mix of both. For it looks like a transvers, but moves in circles like a longitudinal wave.
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
What kind of waves are electromagnet waves?
They are transverse waves.
