just think for a second... what does a transverse wave look like and what does visible light waves look like? the same? yes.
yes it is transverse not longitudinal.

What is the tunnel that lava travels to reach the top of the volcano called?
The "tunnel" that magma travels through is called a vent.
What is happening When light passes through a transparent material it's direction is visually changed slightly?
That is called "refraction", and it is related to the fact that light travels slower in some materials than in others.
Can light travel through matter?
Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
When heat energy travels through solid materials it is called?
The movement of heat through a solid is called heat conduction.
The material through which a wave travels is?
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
The material through which a wave travels is called?
Medium
What is the material through which a wave travels is called the?
a medium
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What is the material a disturbance travels through?
The disturbance is generally called a "wave", and the material (which may be empty space in some cases!) is called the "medium".
What the material through which light travels?
Light travels though a medium called "space-time" and can also travel through transparent and translucent physical materials.
A substance that a wave travels through is called a?
The material through which a wave travels is called a medium.
What is the material through which light travels (like air or water) called?
Light can travel through anything. The amount of light that gets through the material will vary depending on the amount of atoms in the target material.
What is the materials through which a wave travels?
Sound waves can travel through any material, but not through a VACUUM. You may be thinking of the term "MEDIUM", which is often used GENERICALLY to signify what a 'Wave" is traveling through. -------------------------------------------------- The material is called "matter".
Why are the three parts of the large intestine called ascending transverse descending?
It has to do with the direction the waste travels in. Ascending is the section of bowel (large intestine) where waste travels up the intestine, transverse is the section that goes across the middle of your body and descending is the part that flows down toward the colon ready for excretion through the rectum and anus.
What is the sagittal section through the midline of the body called?
Transverse.
What are waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels called?
Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).
