sometimes it all depends
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.
All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.
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.
Thermal energy causes particles to vibrate. When thermal energy is transferred to an object, its particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move and vibrate.
Dust particles are solids.
Dust particles are tiny particles of solid material.
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.
No, particles actually vibrate faster when they are heated. This increase in vibration is due to the higher energy levels associated with the increase in temperature.
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
Not to my knowledge, they only vibrate if they are heated
what is a fixed position and vibrate on the spot
Heat energy from the source causes the particles to oscillate (vibrate) this chains and causes neighbouring particles to vibrate.
