Which wave has a particle motion parallel to a wave motion?
All light waves are made up of particles called photons.
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
In what do the particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
compressional wave
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a?
Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.

In particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
The answer is a compressional wave (;
In what do the particles in the material move back and forth along the direction of wave motion?
compressional wave
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.
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
What kinda of wave is a compressional wave?
A compressional wave is a primary wave
What wave occur when the motion of medium wave is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
