Question

Is a Microwave a Transverse Wave


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Microwaves, for example, are a type of transverse wave.
  2. Electromagnetic waves are a more specific classification for them.
  3. Virtually all electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are transverse waves because the disturbances in the wave are almost always at right angles (perpendicular) to the wave's motion or propagation direction.

Hence, the microwave is a transverse wave.
