Are microwaves longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are therefore transverse waves.
Are microwave wave longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transverse waves in that the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
What kind of wave occurs when you shake a wave up and down?
A transverse wave. The other sort are called longitudinal waves - a compressed part of whatever medium it is followed by a decompressed part.
What part of foot do the metatarsals make?
Metatarsals make up the arches of the foot..... some people call this their instep. The arches of the foot are the longitudinal and the transverse.
How long is the transverse part of the colon?
How long is the transverse part of the colon?
What is a Longitudinal wave caused by vibration?
Longitudinal waves are waves that are produced by disturbance that is parallel to that of the direction of wave or oscillations produced along the path of the wave. The longitudinal waves consist of areas of comressions, the center of which is in a crest, and areas of rarefactions, the center of which is in a trough. Crest in a transverse wave is the part of wave at the maximum above the isoelectric line (midline) and trough is the minimum below the isoelectric line. The example of longitudinal waves is sound waves.
What are the symptoms of transverse colon?
The transverse colon is a body part, not a disease.
What part of your own name corresponds to the species name of an organism?
The species name of an organism corresponds to the second part of its binomial name, whereas my name is a single word.
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What is the difference Between Transitive Wave and Longitudinal wave?
Transverse waves are those where the movement is perpendicular to the direction of the wave and Longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of travel.Longitudinal waves also known as compression waves require a medium through which to travel and can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (a sound wave is a type of longitudinal wave). Longitudinal waves look like this:| | | | | | | |A special type of transverse wave known as an electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum (they don't require a medium) and an example of this type of wave would be a radio wave or X-ray (or for that matter light). However transverse mechanical waves (such as the S-wave produced during an earthquake) are only able to travel through solids. This is the type of wave you see. Transverse waves look like this:\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\.A longitudinal wave travels by pressure gradients, and are usually omnidirectional. Once emitted they travel outward spherically. Longitudinal waves require a material to travel through. A stretched spring held at both ends, compressed from the center to either end, and released will demonstrate a longitudinal wave. Transverse waves are carried along perpendicular to line of travel. They are very linear and don't require a medium to travel through. A jump rope "whipped" from one held end to another demonstrates a transverse wave.
What is the part of the wave where the particles are closest together?
Assuming that you are referring to longitudinal waves, the area where particles are closest together would be called the "compression" area. The "rarefaction" is the opposite; this is where the medium is least dense. Sound is a good example of longitudinal waves. If you look closely at a speaker cone, you be able to see that they seem to move in and out very rapidly. This is what "pushes" and "pulls" the air molecules and creates compressions and rarefactions which our ears receive and transmit as a neural impulse to our brain, allowing us to hear. Although transverse and longitudinal waves are both different types of waves, they are dissimilar (particles in a transverse wave move perpendicular to the motion of the wave (up and down) where as particles in a longitudinal wave move in the direction the wave is traveling).
