Transverse waves, or any type, don't carry the medium with them. If you have ever seen a duck floating on top of the water when a wave comes, you will know what I mean. The wave brings the duck up, but the duck remains in the same spot.

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
Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
How do a transverse wave carry audio signal?
the audio signal is put on transverse wave .
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
Transverse wave.
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels in a?
Transverse Wave
For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
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
