sound waves are compression waves, or longitudinal waves. sounds that we hear are actually just compressions and rarefactions of air particles, meaning the air particles move closer together for a time period then spread apart farther then they normally would(a rarefaction)

Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
What type of wave is produced in banjo?
Standing sound waves.
Which type of wave is produced by flute?
Standing sound waves.
Wave that moves back and forth?
True. The up-down type of wave is called a "transverse wave". Light, for example, is this kind of wave. Sound, however, is a different kind of wave. It is the back-forth type, called "longitudinal", or "compression" waves.
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.
What type of sound wave are they that they allow sound to travel?
Sound waves are pressure waves.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
Which type of wave needs a medium?
sound waves
What type of wave does matter move in the same direction as the wave is travelling?
Sound waves. Also ocean waves. Also earthquake waves. Also explosion waves.
How many type of sound wave are there?
there are two types of sound waves. (1) transverses waves (2) longitudinal waves
What type of seismic wave is closest to sound waves?
tamera
What type of wave is produced in banjo?
Standing sound waves.
Which type of wave is produced by flute?
Standing sound waves.
What is wave guide?
A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguides for each type of wave.
Light waves are examples of transverse waves?
Yes. The other type of wave is longitudinal, which is what sound waves are.
What wave type is a sound wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, and they require a medium for propagation.
Wave that moves back and forth?
True. The up-down type of wave is called a "transverse wave". Light, for example, is this kind of wave. Sound, however, is a different kind of wave. It is the back-forth type, called "longitudinal", or "compression" waves.
