What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
Transverse wave.
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
Transverse wave.
For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a wave?
false, they vibrate parallel
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
What are three types of a mechanical wave?
There are three general types of mechanical waves: – Transverse – particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. – Longitudinal – particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. – Combined – sea waves.
What type of wave is sea waves?
A wave in sea or ocean is a transverse wave produced by oscillation of water perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.
What are interesting facts about transverse waves?
Transverse waves are perpendicular to wave motion.
