| 11. | A ripple in a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized as transverse waves.
|
| 12. | I question the claim that electron drift through a conductor carrying alternating current is a transverse wave.
|
| 13. | In solids, mechanical waves can take many forms including longitudinal waves, transverse waves and surface waves.
|
| 14. | Transverse waves, also known as polarization ", and are not a characteristic of sound waves.
|
| 15. | But an electro-magnetic wave is a kind of progressive wave ( more specifically transverse wave ).
|
| 16. | Consider a traveling transverse wave ( which may be a pulse ) on a string ( the medium ).
|
| 17. | I added to the Sound article information that transverse waves are at right angle to the direction of propagation.
|
| 18. | Acoustic isotropic radiators are possible because sound waves in a gas or liquid are longitudinal waves and not transverse waves.
|
| 19. | Liquids ( By that I mean Newtonian liquids ) like gasses cannot carry transverse waves ( s-waves ).
|
| 20. | As transverse waves, S-waves exhibit properties, such as polarization and birefringence, much like other transverse waves.
