What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
This is a longitudinal wave or a P-wave (primary wave), called so because it travels faster than a transverse wave, which moves at right angles to the direction the wave travels.
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
What wave matter moves right angles to the direction wave travels?
Transverse
Do lightwaves travel horizontal or vertical?
light waves are supposidly two dimensional waves of an electron but do they travel horizontal or vertical well the earths magnetic field has an effect on them "northen lights" and so does man made magnetic fields ie: the TV so any self respecting scientist or physisit should be able to answer the question Obviously there aren't any
Do sound waves oscillate parallel or perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels?
parallel
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P

What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels in a?
Transverse Wave
What direction a transverse wave travels?
A transverse wave travels in a straight line but wavers up and down. the high point is the crest and the low point is the trough
What wave matter moves right angles to the direction wave travels?
Transverse

Do sound waves oscillate parallel or perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels?
parallel
What are waves that move the medium at RIGHT angles to the direction the wave travels?
transverse wave
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
