Traditionally such waves are called surface waves. They are technically Quaternion waves consisting of a scalar (longitudinal) wave and a vector (transverse) wave.
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and waves on a guitar string.
Those would be transverse waves!
Longitudnal waves and Transverse Waves
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
A wave that is a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves is called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two mediums, exhibiting characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves. These waves are commonly seen in earthquakes and ocean waves.
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
They are transverse waves.
Polarized waves.
Transverse waves have particles in the medium vibrating perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
Transverse waves are funny.
No. "Transverse" means that the vibration is at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
