What is the difference between longitual waves and transverse waves?
longitudinal waves travel in the direction parallel to the Surface, which are P waves, and transverse waves travel in the direction perpendicular to the surface, which causes destructive earthquakes. Which are S waves.
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
What are facts about waves?
There are different kinds of waves... sound, ocean, surface, longitudinal, and transverse.
How waves classified?
waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
What is the difference between longitual waves and transverse waves?
longitudinal waves travel in the direction parallel to the Surface, which are P waves, and transverse waves travel in the direction perpendicular to the surface, which causes destructive earthquakes. Which are S waves.
What is the difference between waves made by the breeze and waves made by a speedboat?
sound are longitudinal waves while water waves are transverse waves
Compare and contrast 3 types of waves?
Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What is difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
How does a wave surface form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
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 is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
Deadly longitudinal waves that roll the surface like flipping a carpet?
S waves

Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
