Wave is a propagation of oscillations of some physical parameter (perturbation of pressure, mass density, electrical or magnetic fields...). If oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of propagation - the wave is transverse (for example - electromagnetic wave). If physical parameter oscillates along the propagation direction - the wave is longitudinal(Sound).

What is the type of waves of the propagation of sound in air- Longtudinal or Transversal?
The type of waves for the propagation of sound in air is longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave's propagation. In the case of sound waves, air molecules move back and forth in the direction of the sound wave as it travels through the air.
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, while seismic waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as rocks or soil, to propagate. Light waves travel at the speed of light (about 300,000 km/s), while seismic waves travel at much slower speeds (a few km/s to several km/s). Light waves exhibit characteristics such as reflection and refraction, while seismic waves can produce earthquakes and reveal information about the Earth's interior.
What is an example of transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
An example of a transverse wave is light, where the oscillations occur perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound, where the oscillations are in the same direction as the wave propagation, causing compression and rarefaction of the medium.
Sound is a longitudinal wave What does the word 'longitudinal' mean?
Longitudinal means that the oscillation of particles in the wave occurs parallel to the direction of energy transfer. In the case of sound waves, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is propagating.
What is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart?
A longitudinal wave can go through solids, liquids, and gases.A transversal wave will usually only go through solids. (Electromagnetic waves, however, can also go through empty space.)
What are some facts about transversal waves?
Transverse waves are perpendicular to wave motion.
What is an example of transversal wave and longitudinal wave?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
What are transversal contracts?
transversal contract
Why are sound waves not polarized?
Sound waves (in gas, liquid and sometimes in solid) are longitudinal, not transversal. They cannot be polarised. Sound waves (sometimes in solid) are always "polarised" as the medium must move in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of travel.
A transversal creates pairs of?
transversal creates pairs of
What is the circumference of a transversal?
A transversal is a straight line and so it has no circumference.
What is a angle cut but a transversal?
What is a angle on the opposite side of the transversal
What is a transversal?
A transversal is a line that crosses more than one line.
What is a transversal angle?
A Transversal angle is a line that intersects a system of lines.
Are sound waves transvers or longitudnal?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means that the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to transverse waves, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
What is a line that intersects two parallel lines?
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
