When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoDo particles in a medium move with the passing of a compression wave? Yes. They move in the direction of wave propagation briefly, then oscillate back roughly to their starting point.

What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
Mechanical waves need a through which to transport energy?
A mechanical wave travels through matter.A mechanical wave travels through matter.A mechanical wave travels through matter.A mechanical wave travels through matter.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
What are waves that move the medium at RIGHT angles to the direction the wave travels?
transverse wave
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.

In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium how do the molecules of the medium vibrate?
The quaggas of the wave, which are the midpoints, start to spasm out of control.
Matter through which a waves travels?
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels in a?
Transverse Wave
A transverse wave travels along z-axis The particles of the medium travels along?
z-axis
Matter which a wave travle?
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
