Are waves on a rope and light waves are two examples of longitudinal waves?
No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is sound. :)
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
Sound travels as which type of wave?
sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, that is the movement of the wave is in the direction of travel. sound is made by vibrations, therefore sound waves create areas of stretched apart air (rarefactions) and compressed air (compressions) which are areas of low and high pressure respectively.
Movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is what?
It is sound waves

No, neither are examples of longitudinal waves. Sound waves and compression waves in a spring are longitudinal waves. With light and rope waves, the axis of movement is 90 degrees to the direction of propagation, they are both transverse waves.
Is thermal the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves?
No, it is totally unrelated to that.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is sound. :)
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
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
Are soundwaves longitudinal waves?
longitudinal wave
