Are longitudinal waves water waves?

Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.


Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?

Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude


Are transverse waves faster than longitudinal waves?

In a given medium, transverse waves and longitudinal waves would generally travel at the same speed. The speed of a wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling, rather than its direction of propagation.


What are the properties of a longitudinal and transverse waves?

speed,frequency, wavelength and amplitude


Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

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


Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?

No, longitudinal waves do not necessarily travel the fastest. The speed of a wave depends on the medium through which it is traveling. In some mediums, longitudinal waves may travel faster than other types of waves, while in others they may not.


What kind of waves are not transverse waves?

Waves are often classified as transverse or longitudinal. The sideways vibrations of a string and the surface waves on water are a good examples of transverse waves. Sound waves in fluids (e.g. sound in air, sound traveling under water) are examples of longitudinal waves. In solids, you can have both transverse and longitudinal waves.


How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?

newton's


Is a water wave transverse or longitudinal?

Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water. Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.


Where do longitudinal waves travel?

longitudinal waves definitely requires a medium(air,water,solid) in order to transmit it does not travel through vaccum


Are all waves traverse or longitudinal?

Waves can be either transverse or longitudinal. Transverse waves involve oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, like ripples on the water. Longitudinal waves involve oscillations parallel to the direction of wave travel, like sound waves.


Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?

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