Is it true a toy boat bobbing up and down on a pond is being moved by longitudinal waves?
True
What else can I help you with?
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
A toy boat is bobbing up and down on a pond is being moved by what type of wave?
The toy boat is being moved by a transverse wave on the surface of the pond. Transverse waves cause particles of the medium to move up and down perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What type of wave is being described Sound parallel mechanical not a vacuum nedds a medium compressions and rarefaction?
The wave being described is a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves as they involve compressions and rarefactions in the medium through which they travel.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are two types of mechanical waves?
transverse and longitudinal
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
How do you spell bobbing on?
That is the correct spelling of "bobbing" (moving up and down as if on sea waves).
How are longitudinal waves used in communication?
All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves, where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
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.
What statement best describes longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
