they both need something like a medium to travel through (matter) however a light wave can travel through a vacuum.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
transverse and longitudinal
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, water waves are a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.
Both transverse waves and longitudinal waves are types of mechanical waves that transfer energy through a medium. In both types of waves, particles within the medium oscillate to transmit the wave energy.
Both transverse waves and longitudinal waves are forms of mechanical waves that transfer energy through a medium without transferring matter. They both exhibit properties such as frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
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.
Light waves are transverse waves. This means that the oscillation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation.
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
