Parallel polarisations are the divergence of the vibrations (Del . dV/dr) and Perpendicular polarisations are Curl of the vibrations (Del x dV/dr).
The parallel polarisations is associated with the scalar wave and the perpendicular polarisations are associated with the vector wave.

Do sound waves oscillate parallel or perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels?
parallel
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.
Do sound waves transfer energy parallel or perpendicular?
parellel
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
Is there any point along the path of projectile where velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other?
Using the term "trajectory" implies that the acceleration you are concerned about is due to gravity. Gravity will always be perpendicular to the surface. Unless the trajectory begins perpendicular to the surface, it will never change to become perpendicular and the velocity will never be in a direction parallel to the acceleration. If it starts perpendicular to the surface it will start and remain perpendicular. Of course if you have another force acting on the object - such as wind - the component of the velocity vector parallel to the ground could be reduced to zero and at that point the only remaining component of the velocity vector would be that perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the acceleration. Likewise if the object is being propelled by an engine or rocket, the trajectory could be parallel to the force any time the acceleration vector became parallel to the velocity vector.
Are parallel and perpendicular opposites?
Yes, parallel and perpendicular are opposites.
Does a rhombus have parallel and perpendicular sides?
It has parallel sides, but not perpendicular.
What is Perpendicular and Parallel?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
Does perpendicular have parallel lines?
= parallel + perpendicular As such no, perpendicular lines do not naturally have parallel lines. However...connect the lines in the symbols below. ++ ++ And you'll have 4 perpendicular lines, and 4 parallel lines.
Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Is a octagon parallel or perpendicular?
Perpendicular
Can two lines intersect and be perpendicular and parallel?
No, they can't. Perpendicular and parallel are antonyms.
What is not a characteristic of of a perpendicular bisector?
is parallel-apex
Can two lines be parallel and perpendicular at the same time?
no, because parallel is opposite to perpendicular
Does a rhombus have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
Perpendicular: No Parallel: Yes, two pairs.
Why is it important to know the difference between parallel vs perpendicular?
perpendicular cross parallel do not
CAN Perpendicular lines can be parallel?
No, perpendicular lines intersect eachother at 90 degree angles. Parallel lines never intersect. So perpendicular lines will never be parallel.
