Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?
This type of wave is called longitudinal waves.
Why is a wave pulse traveling on a string considered a longitudinal wave?
it is sideways displacement vs. lengthwise or rotational.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
Is a radio wave longitudinal?
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
Is longitudinal a sound wave?
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave

Is ultrasound a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
Must a wave be transverse or longitudinal explain?
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
Why sound waves are longitudinal waves?
If the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave, as in sound waves that's why sound waves are called longitudinal waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What is an example os a longditudinal wave?
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
