When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?

Transverse


Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.


do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?

In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.


These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?

the answer to this question is transverse wave


What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?

Transverse wave.


How does transverse waves move?

When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.


Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?

perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion


What wave in which matter moves at right angles to the direction of the waves?

transverse


What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?

The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.


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


How do you demonstrate transverse waves?

Water waves are known as transverse waves because the motion of the water is up and down, or at right angles to the direction in which the waves are traveling. You can see this by observing a cork bobbing up and down on water as the waves pass by; the cork moves very little in a sideways direction.


What is transverse wave in science terms?

A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
