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.

Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
In what kind of waves do sound ravel in?
Longitudinal waves. The other category of waves, transverse waves, can't travel in a gas. This is valid in the case of mechanical waves; because electromagnetic waves are also transverse waves, and they can travel even in a vacuum.
Are electromagnetic waves transverse or compressional waves?
They are transverse waves.
Are shock waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
these
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
What kind of waves are electromagnet waves?
They are transverse waves.
What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
What kind of waves is water waves?
Transverse wave
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
What kind of wave is a surface wave?
Surface waves are transverse waves.
What kind of waves does sound have transverse waves or compression waves?
Sound is a compressional wave.
What kind of waves is electromagnetic radiation?
Transverse Wave
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
