In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
What is the difference between a tansverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
If the particles of the material medium vibrated in a perpendicular direction to the direction of propagation of the wave then it is said to be TRANSVERSE If the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation then it will be longitudinal
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
In this type of wave particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave itself.?
tranverse
A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?
Transverse wave
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
In which type of waves do the particles in a medium vibrate in a the same direction the wave is moving?
Longitudinal waves
In which types of waves do the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
longitudinal waves
What type of particle vibrations occurs in longitudinal waves?
Particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

In what type of wave do the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the wave?
Tranverse wave
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
Why is it called longitudinal waves?
Since the particles of the medium vibrate parallel (length wise) to the direction of propagation of the energy. HEnce the name longitudinal.
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 =]
