But this characterization also fits various kinds of perceptual and linguistic activities that are not usually considered measurements, and is therefore too broad to count as a definition of measurement.
While mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency, electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibration of the charged particles. When comparing the speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves, the former travels at low speed.
light waves or electromagnetic waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can be both transverse and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves are like ocean waves. They move the medium perpendicular to the medium which is the substance the wave is traveling on.Longitudinal waves are like a slinky.They compress and rarefact (The coils get close and move away).m waves are transverse in nature. the electric and magnetic field vectors are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves. Electromagnetic waves in pure vacuum ar â¦ e transverse, but in a plasma (ionized gas) electromagnetic waves can occur as transverse or longitudinal.
