Onda transversal

The video tutorial explains the nature of oscillations and differentiates between transverse and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves, such as electromagnetic waves including visible light, have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of movement. In contrast, longitudinal waves, like sound waves, have vibrations parallel to the direction of propagation.

What is the orientation of oscillations in relation to the direction of movement?

• Parallel

• Perpendicular

• Circular

• Diagonal

Which type of waves are electromagnetic waves, including visible light?

• Longitudinal

• Transverse

• Circular

• Elliptical

How do transverse waves differ from longitudinal waves?

• Transverse waves have circular vibrations.

• Transverse waves have vibrations parallel to the direction of propagation.

• Transverse waves have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

• Transverse waves do not have any vibrations.

What is a characteristic of longitudinal waves?

• Vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

• Vibrations are parallel to the direction of propagation.

• Vibrations are circular.

• Vibrations are diagonal.

Which of the following is an example of a longitudinal wave?

• Sound wave

• Light wave

• Radio wave

• Microwave
