∙ 14y agoI could say longitudinal
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoGenerally, sound is classically defined as longitudinal waves in a medium.
However, sound can also behave as a transverse wave in solids
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, because sound waves moves in various direction and longitudinal waves moves in one direction.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes. At least in a gas, there can be no transverse waves.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Sound waves are transverse waves?
Nope, longitudinal.
How are sound and surface waves longitudinal waves?
Because the vibrations of both the waves travel parallel to the direction of propagation of waves. For eg: both the waves have amplitude, frequency etc.
Describe the production of ultrasonic waves by magnetostriction method?
When a ferromagnetic rod of iron or nickel is placed in a magnetic field parallel to its length the rod is thrown into longitudinal vibration thus producing Ultrasonic waves.Check out this site.. For more Info http://www.newagepublishers.com/samplechapter/001649.pdfwhen a ferromagnetic rod is is placed in an alternating magnetic field parallel to its direction the rod experiences a small change in its length.
In ship construction what is the difference between transverse and longitudinal framing?
If the primary stiffners of the hull is in transverse direction, that design is called transverse framing. and If the primary stiffners of the hull is in longitudinal direction, that is called longitudinally framed ship
What are digital formats are descriptions of signals?
Waves
Are soundwaves longitudinal?
Yes
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Are sound waves longitudinal in solids?
No Sound waves are longitudinal. Being longitudinal they cannot be POLARISED.
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
What are the waves of the vibration in an air column called?
?? soundwaves?
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.
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.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
