What else can I help you with?
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
Light waves are transverse waves, meaning that the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is in contrast to compressional waves, where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation, such as in sound waves.
What is the difference of compressional waves and transverse waves?
Compressional waves cause particles in a medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave, while transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of compressional waves, while light waves are an example of transverse waves.
A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?
That would be sound.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
Are light waves transverse waves or compressional waves?
Light waves are transverse waves, meaning that the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is in contrast to compressional waves, where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation, such as in sound waves.
What does a trough of a transverse wave correspond to in a compressional wave?
low density.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What is the difference of compressional waves and transverse waves?
Compressional waves cause particles in a medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave, while transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of compressional waves, while light waves are an example of transverse waves.

Is light a mechanial wave or an electromagnetic wave A tranverse wave or a compressional wave?
electromagnetic, transverse
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
