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.


What is the difference between a longitude wave and traverse wave?

Longitudinal waves move in the same direction as the wave energy, vibrating parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves. Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of wave energy, vibrating at right angles to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves.


What medium do mechanical waves need?

Mechanical waves need a material medium, such as air, water, or solids, to travel through. These waves rely on the vibration and movement of particles in the medium to propagate energy from one location to another.

Which wave Does not pass through earths liquid outer core?

S-waves, or shear waves, do not pass through Earth's liquid outer core. Unlike P-waves (primary waves), which are compressional and can travel through both solids and liquids, S-waves can only move through solids. This inability to traverse the liquid outer core provides crucial evidence for the Earth's internal structure.
