When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What is longitudinal ( compression) wave?
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
When the particles of the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
What is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move away from the rest positions as a wave passes through the medium?
The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.?
longitudinal
A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?
Transverse wave
What is the maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position?
A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
What is longitudinal ( compression) wave?
When the particles of a medium displaces due to compression and rarefaction in the direction of the force, it is known as longitudinal waves.
When the particles of the medium move back forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
When the particles of a medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
When the particles of the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
When the particles of the medium move back and forth along the directions of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
