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.
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
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.
When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?
No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.

What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
What would happen to the length of a meter stick traveling near the speed of light with its long dimension perpendicular to the direction of motion?
Nothing would.
What is the wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels called?
Longitudinal wave. (as opposed to Transverse waves, where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of movement.)
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
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.

Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
Movement in a transverse wave is perpendicular to the source. Therefore, individual particles move up & down.
In random motion how are particles moving?
The direction of their motion changes randomly.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing?
Direction
