What else can I help you with?
Are sound waves longlitudanal?
They can be either longitudinal or transverse. In gases, such as air, and in liquids, only longitudinal waves are possible. In solids, there can be both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Can you convert transverse to longitudinal?
No, it is not possible to convert transverse waves into longitudinal waves, as they are fundamentally different types of waves. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What waves arent transverse?
Longitudinal waves are not transverse. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation instead of perpendicular to it like in transverse waves. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of transverse and longitudianal waves?
Transverse waves have the advantage of being able to transmit energy without the need for a medium, while longitudinal waves require a medium to propagate. However, longitudinal waves can travel through liquids and gases, while transverse waves are usually limited to solid mediums.
Are longitudinal waves water waves?
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Who transverse waves are different from longitudinal waves?
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. This means that particles in transverse waves move up and down while particles in longitudinal waves move back and forth. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves, while light waves are examples of transverse waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
