Seismic P-waves travel more quickly and are longitudinal. The speed of sound in metal is much, much higher than the speed at which a longitudinal wave travels down, say, a violin string or a piece of rebar. SO, for a fixed amplitude, longitudinal waves generally carry more energy.

Which color has the highest energy? Violet waves have the most energy of the visible spectrum.

## which waves carry more energy?

Shorter waves move faster and have more energy, and longer waves travel more slowly and have less energy. Aside from the different frequencies and lengths of light waves, they also have different speeds. In a vacuum, light waves move their fastest: 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second).

What factors increase the power of a wave? Experiment : The wavelength and speed of a wave can be influenced by many factors. Adjust the amplitude, frequency, tension, and density as described in the table below. Then report whether this causes the wavelength and wave speed to increase or decrease.

## what is the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?

Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

How do waves carry energy? In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

## what is the highest part of a transverse wave?

THE PARTICLES IN A TRANSVERSE WAVE MOVE ACROSS, OR PERPENDICULAR TO, THE DIRECTION THAT THE WAVE IS TRAVELING. THE HIGHEST POINT OF A TRANSVERSE WAVE IS CALLED A CREST, AND THE LOWEST POINT BETWEEN EACH CREST IS CALLED A TROUGH.

Which wave has the highest frequency? Gamma rays

### Why is a combined wave more powerful than a transverse wave?

A circle - In a combined wave, the motion of the medium is circular. So, each point of the spring moves in a circle as the wave is transmitted from left to right. The transverse wave ends up being more powerful than the combined wave, but the combined wave is more powerful than the longitudinal wave.

How do waves lose energy? As it travels, a sound wave's energy is slowly lost as heat. This happens because the molecules of the medium through which it is travelling knock against each other as they transmit the sound wave energy.

### What direction do transverse waves move?

A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves.

### Do colors have frequencies?

All of the color frequencies together make up the visible light spectrum. A specific range of frequencies makes up the visible light spectrum. Each frequency produces a different pure spectral color. We can divide the full range of spectral colors into six main groups: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.

### What is the source of all electromagnetic waves?

Stars and lightning are natural sources of radio waves, but these are also produced by the antenna on a radio transmitter. Many sources of electromagnetic radiation come from man-made technology. On the other side of the spectrum, we have ultraviolet radiation, which is emitted by black lights and fluorescent lamps.

### How do electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space. This vibration creates a wave which has both an electric and a magnetic component. An electromagnetic wave transports its energy through a vacuum at a speed of 3.00 x 108 m/s (a speed value commonly represented by the symbol c).

### Do transverse waves need a medium?

Mechanical transverse waves require a material medium and propogate by means of vibrations of the medium perpendicular to the direction of travel. Electromagnetic (EM) waves (such as light) are also transverse waves but they do not require a medium and thus can pass through a vacuum (see intro).

#### Which is an example of a transverse wave?

Examples of transverse waves include: ripples on the surface of water. electromagnetic waves – eg light waves, microwaves, radio waves. seismic S-waves.

#### Which type of earthquake waves are transverse?

When seismic waves are first created, they travel outwards in all direction from their source. Body waves travel through the interior of the earth, and have two main types: P-Waves (Primary waves) are Longitudinal Waves. S-Waves (Secondary waves) are Transverse Waves.

#### What are the parts of transverse wave?

Parts of a Transverse wave: The crest is the top of the wave. The trough is at the bottom of the wave. The wavelength is the length of the wave. The amplitude of a wave is the highest amount of vibration that the medium gives from the rest position.

#### Can sound be a transverse wave?

Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Since liquids are non-compressible, sound can't travel as a transverse wave through liquid.
