What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.


A type of mechanical wave motion in an elastic medium is?

One type of mechanical wave motion in an elastic medium is longitudinal waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. An example of longitudinal waves is sound waves traveling through air.


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.


Wave in which particles move parallel to wave motions?

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Sound waves in air are an example of longitudinal waves.


What are longitudinal waves and how do they relate to sound waves?

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is moving. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave, where the vibrations of air particles create the sensation of sound. Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, by compressing and rarefying the particles in the same direction as the wave is moving.

What kind of waves are not transverse waves?

Longitudinal waves are a type of wave that is not transverse. In a longitudinal wave, the oscillations of the medium are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Sound waves are the most common example of longitudinal waves.


What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?

Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.


What type are the waves that transmit sound?

Sound waves are mechanical longitudinal waves, which means they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. These waves compress and rarefy the molecules in the medium as they travel, transmitting the sound energy from one place to another.


What wave type is a sound wave?

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, and they require a medium for propagation.


What type instrument produce transverse wave?

If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.


Are longitudinal and compressional waves the same thing?

No, longitudinal and compressional waves are not the same thing. Longitudinal waves are a type of mechanical wave where the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave is traveling, such as sound waves. Compressional waves, on the other hand, are a type of longitudinal wave specifically defined as waves in which the medium's density changes.
