Question

what type of wave is a microwave?
options: sound, transverse, longitudinal, heat

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, meaning the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are longitudinal (oscillations parallel to wave direction), heat transfer isn't a wave type in this context, and "sound" is a longitudinal mechanical wave. So microwaves are transverse.

Answer:

B. transverse
