Satellites communicate using electromagnetic waves, which are a type of transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This is in contrast to longitudinal waves, where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Therefore, satellites utilize transverse waves for communication.
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
its a transverse wave
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Light is transverse in nature.
Its a transverse wave.
No, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not transverse.
In a transverse wave, the crest of the wave corresponds to the compression of a longitudinal wave, while the trough of the transverse wave corresponds to the rarefaction of a longitudinal wave. Both waves exhibit oscillation or vibration, but the direction in which the particles move is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave, while it is parallel in a longitudinal wave.
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
