Where do longitudinal waves originate?

Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.


Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.


What does an electromagnetic waves diagram illustrate?

An electromagnetic waves diagram illustrates the different types of electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, showing their wavelengths and frequencies.


Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?

No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.


Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?

What does an electromagnetic wave diagram illustrate?

An electromagnetic wave diagram illustrates the properties and behavior of electromagnetic waves, such as their frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and direction of propagation.


How are longitudinal waves used in communication?

All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.


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.


Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.


What statement best describes longitudinal waves?

Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
