Are electromagnetic waves longitudinal waves?

No, electromagnetic waves are not longitudinal waves. They are transverse waves, meaning the oscillations of the wave are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.


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.


Are shock waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Shock waves are a type of longitudinal waves, meaning the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.


What are the differences between light waves and sound waves?

Light waves and sound waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves, but they have key differences. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, while sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves, at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, while sound waves travel at a speed of about 767 miles per hour in air. Additionally, light waves are transverse waves, meaning they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of travel, while sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning they oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.


Which is always a transverse wave?

Electromagnetic waves are always transverse waves, meaning their oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
