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
In what type of waves energy travels perpendicular to the motion of the medium?
In transverse waves, the energy travels perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is moving. This causes the particles in the medium to move in a direction that is different from the direction of energy propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
Do lightwaves travel horizontal or vertical?
light waves are supposidly two dimensional waves of an electron but do they travel horizontal or vertical well the earths magnetic field has an effect on them "northen lights" and so does man made magnetic fields ie: the TV so any self respecting scientist or physisit should be able to answer the question Obviously there aren't any
What type of wave that travels in one direction but the energy travels perpendicular to this direction?
This describes a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving. Examples include light waves, waves on a string, and electromagnetic waves.
What does light energy travel in?
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
Sound travels in air as a longitudinal wave, where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light, on the other hand, does not require a medium like air to propagate and travels in transverse waves, with oscillations perpendicular to the direction of motion.
What is an explanation of how energy travels in waves to produce light and sound?
Light travels in waves, and sound travels in waves. However, sound waves and light waves are very different, and it is important not to confuse the two. Light travels in electromagnetic waves, and sound does not. Sound waves are caused by vibration.
What particles in a wave vibrate perpendicularly to the direction the wave travels?
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles move up and down or side to side as the wave travels forward. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
What is it called when light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions?
When light waves traveling in one direction are made to travel in many different directions, it is called light scattering. This can occur when light interacts with particles or objects and is redirected in multiple directions.
What is the best way to describe transverse waves?
Transverse waves are a type of wave in which the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This means that the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
What are waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
crest
A wave whose energy travels the same way as it was transferred?
A transverse wave is a type of wave where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This means that the energy travels in the same direction as it was transferred. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
