It need not go up and down. Assuming the wave moves "forward", the individual particles may move up and down, or left and right - or diagonally. In any case, the individual particles move at right angles to the movement of the wave, because that is what "tarnsverse" means.
No. They can travel in any direction. "Transverse" refers to the fact that the disturbance moves back and forth at right angles to the movement of the wave.
they travel by a straight line that moves up and down through air waves
Yes they do!! They are also caused by strong currents!
Sound can not be a transverse wave when moving through the air, because the air particles drift off. Instead, they form longitudinal waves.
No. Transverse waves move in the direction of the waves velocity. The transverse wave "disturbance" or vibration, is at right angles to the direction of the waves velocity.
transverse waves can travel on the tops of liquids, however, not through them
The waves that move the surface up and down are called Rayleigh waves and can sometimes be refered to as ground roll. Earth quakes can cause these kind of waves.
Speed up
P waves: the rock spring back to its original shape S waves: the rock is deformed from side to side Surface waves: the rock goes up and down
Secondary or S Waves are a form of waves which are produced as a result of shift in tectonic plates during an earthquake. Such waves only travel through solid surfaces and disintegrate upon reaching liquids. They always tend to adapt a back and forth motion as they move along. They are often referred to as "body waves".
S-waves move side to side, not up and down (P-waves). Buildings can go up and down without a problem, not side to side.
Generally everywave will travel the fastest through solids. These waves include sound, and other vibrational waves. But Electro Magnetic Radiation wave along with light will slow down and can very well change direction mid stream. They travel quite fast through slate
Back and forth in the direction of propagation of the sound waves.
Speed up
No. Surface waves travel across the country, and the land moves up and down. An example is sea waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Not very well, because they're different types of waves. They have some similar properties, but water waves are transverse waves (the water goes up and down, perpendicular to the direction of travel) and sound waves are longitudinal waves (the air vibrates parallel to the direction of travel).
Surface Waves can propagate only along the boundary of solid.Two types are:Rayliegh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.Love Waves are polarized shear wave with an associated oscillatory particle motion parallel to the free space and perpendicular to the direction wave motion.
no
slow down.
transverse waves are waves that go up and down
No, they are transverse a water particle moves perpendicular to the motion of the wave (water particles move up and down where are the wave moves left or right)
P waves: the rock spring back to its original shape S waves: the rock is deformed from side to side Surface waves: the rock goes up and down
waves such as transverse waves, like moving a rope up and down causing waves, does require a medium but energy in the form of light (its still debatible weather its a particle or wave) doesnt need a medium,like electromagnetic waves
