If you are talking in terms of the Higgs Boson particle theory, then if you are walking in a field, all the waves are interacting with eachother. waves bounce off of you and you bounce off of waves. Imagine you are swimming in a box of water, the waves you create are bouncing off of the walls of the box and those waves are bouncing off of you.
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
A transverse wave.
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
longitudinal waves
In a transverse wave, matter in the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles of the medium move side to side or up and down as the wave passes through.
A transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the individual particle of the medium is vibrating. This means that the wave's energy is transmitted horizontally or vertically, while the particles of the medium move in a different direction.
Parallel to the direction the wave travels.
The disturbance that travels through a medium as a compressional wave is called a longitudinal wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
In a compression wave, the medium is displaced in the same direction that the wave is travelling. This means that the particles of the medium move closer together and then farther apart as the wave passes through.
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
A longitudinal wave moves through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave's propagation. This creates areas of compression and rarefaction as the wave travels through the medium.
