How do transverse waves and longitudinal waves differ?
Longitudinal Wave:The oscillation is is parallel to the direction of wave travel.Example:sound, spring,"P_type" earthquake waveTransverse Waves:The Oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.Example:radio or light waves , string, "S-type", earthquake waves.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
What source of energy cause a transverse wave?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
What is a transverse wave associated with an earthquake and which cannot move through liquid?
The Secondary or S-wave is a transverse wave associated with earthquakes that can not pass through liquids.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Is an earthquake wave a longitudinal ver a transverse wave?
It can be either.
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
What transverse wave is the first to reach the location of an earthquake?
P wave
What is the transverse wave that is the second to reach the location of an earthquake?
P(rimary) wave first. P-waves propagate through any medium. S(econdary) wave second. S-waves will not travel though liquids, ie, the mantle Surface wave last. Self explanatory.
What Longitudinal wave that is first to reach the location of an earthquake?
Transverse
Is s waves transverse waves?
'S' is a common designator which refers to a transverse body wave.
How do transverse waves and longitudinal waves differ?

What wave is partly longitudinal and partly transverse?
Earthquake waves , electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves..
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
