What are the motion of the particles like inside the medium of a transverse wave?
in a transverse wave the individual particles of the medium
What direction do sound waves travel?
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
Transverse Wave.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.

What wave is ripples on a pond?
A Transverse wave of particles.
What direction do sound waves travel?
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
Is radiation a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
Transverse Wave.
Electromagnetic radiation is a transverse wave?
Yes, electromagnetic radiation does travel as a transverse wave
When particles of wave move at right angle what type of wave is it?
Transverse wave
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
What transverse wave means?
The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)
