Are transverse and congressional waves a type of mechanical wave?
A transverse wave may, or may not, be a mechanical wave (electromagnetic waves are also transverse).I don't know about congressional waves; you may want to ask a representative of congress in your country.
Is a longitudinal wave a mechinal wave?
It is not a synonym, in any case. Mechanical waves can be both longitudinal and transverse. Electromagnetic waves are transverse.
What is wave 4?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
Is a mechanical wave a transverse wave?
A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
What are types of transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, as a surface wave of water. Another name for this word is an electromagnetic wave.

What are the two kinds of wave?
There are mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
What are types of transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, as a surface wave of water. Another name for this word is an electromagnetic wave.
What two motions are needed to make a wave?
There are two basic forms of wave motion, for mechanical waves. These are longitudinal and transverse waves.
A sound wave is a transverse wave?
No. At least in a gas and liquid, mechanical waves, including sound, can only propagate as longitudinal waves.
What is an example of transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
Give three examples of mechanical waves and identify the medium through which they travel?
There are only two types of mechanical waves: longitudinal waves, and transverse waves..In a longitudinal wave, the waves themselves oscillate, or vibrate, in the same direction as the wave travel. Longitudinal waves are also called compression waves. Sound and seismic P-waves are examples of mechanical longitudinal waves..In a transverse wave, the waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel. Ocean waves and seismic S-waves are examples of mechanical transverse waves..See the related links for further information about longitudinal and transverse waves.
Does a longitudinal wave need a medium?
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
