What else can I help you with?
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave transverse in nature?
No, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not transverse.
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.
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No, the electromagnetic spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves, which include light waves but not sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel, while electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Are sound waves and light waves transverse?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Are light radio and sound transverse waves?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are while sound waves are?
transverse; longitudinal.
Which of the following is not a transverse wave sound or radio wave or light or all of the above or none of the above?
Sound.
What happens when transverse electromagnetic waves encounter cavity?
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
How are sound and light forms of energy different?
Sound is a form of mechanical energy and light is electrical. Sound moves as a longitudinal wave and lighty as a transverse wave. Sound cannot travel in free space, light can.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is a sound wave transverse in nature?
No, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not transverse.
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.
Is refraction a property of transverse waves longitudinal waves or both?
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
Are light waves longitudinal?
No, light waves are not longitudinal waves. Light is an example of a transverse wave, like a wave moving across the surface of water. Sound or seismic waves are examples of longitudinal waves.
