Is a gamma longitudinal or transverse?
Transverse
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
How are transverse waves alike and different?
Transverse waves are alike longitudinal waves in that they both transfer energy, but transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave. Transverse waves are characterized by crests and troughs, while longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.
