How are sound waves transverse in nature?
Sound waves are transverse in nature because the particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
Which direction do particles vibrate in transfer waves?
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
Which direction do the particles vibrate in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles move up and down or side to side as the wave travels forward.
Are S waves transverse or longitudinal?
S waves are transverse waves, which means the particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is in contrast to P waves, which are longitudinal waves where the particles vibrate parallel to the wave direction.
Do longitudinal wave particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction?
No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.
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.
What direction does the particles vibrate in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means the particle motion is side to side or up and down while the wave itself moves forward.
In which type of waves to the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.
do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
How do the particles of a transverse wave vibrate?
In a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means the particles oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave moves forward. The motion of the particles is characterized by crests and troughs that correspond to the peaks and valleys of the wave.
Transverse waves that vibrate in one direction only are called....?
Polarized waves.
