∙ 9y agowhen the particles of the medium do simply harmonic vibrations oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the disturbance or wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Example: waves produced on the free surface of water by dropping stones on it

These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
the answer to this question is transverse wave
ARE ocean waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Ocean waves are transverse waves because they move up and down.
What is transverse wave in science terms?
A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Waves that move up and down are called?
Transverse waves.

Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
What type of waves do particalles in a medium move perpendicular to the direction that the waves move?
Waves that oscillate perpendicularly to their propagation are called transverse waves.
What type of waves move across the direction of travel?
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
What are characteristics of water waves make them transverse waves?
There are many forms of water waves. The characteristics of water waves that are transverse waves are that the particles of the wave move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves.
What are wave classification?
Mechanical waves are produced when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. Mechanical waves are classified by how they move. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse means "across." Longitude means "horizontal". Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. by how they move
What type of waves move the medium at right angles to the direction of the energy?
Transverse Waves
Are the waves formed by sound transverse waves?
They are longitudinal waves. Because they form compressions & rarefactions when they move.
