Sound energy
trough wave
Light travels as light energy. Light is a type of electromagnetic wave.
A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.
primary wave
A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
trough wave
Light energy.
An electromagnetic wave, such as light.An electromagnetic wave, such as light.An electromagnetic wave, such as light.An electromagnetic wave, such as light.
Light travels as light energy. Light is a type of electromagnetic wave.
Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.
compressed air waves
Sound, some earthquake waves.
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
Light travels as light energy. Light is a type of electromagnetic wave.
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
The P-wave is a compression / longitudinal wave and so unlike the S-wave is able to travel through the liquid outer core.
