What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
What do transverse waves and longitudnal waves have in common?
Transverse waves and longitudinal waves are both types of mechanical waves. They both transfer energy through a medium, but their motion and displacement of particles in the medium differ. In transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while in longitudinal waves, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
Transverse wave.
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
What is wave in which particles in the medium vibrate in an up an and down motion?
transverse waves
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move back and forth in the direction of wave motion?
Transverse wave longitudinal wave-hint back and forth

For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
Transverse wave.
What kind of wave carries Waves on a String?
it's the transverse wave that carries waves on a string .b'caz waves on a string proceed along the length of the string but the particles of the medium that is the particles of the string move perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
State 2 differences between transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
First and foremost is that rigidity is essential for transverse waves to travel through the medium. But in longitudinal it is not essential. So transverse waves cannot be propagated through gasses. Second, the vibrations of particles of the medium will be perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Whereas in the case of longitudinal waves, the vibrations are in the same direction as that of the wave propagation.
How do wave particles move?
Particles in transverse waves oscillate in a vertical motion. (they move up and down, Just in case ;))
What explains the motion of micro particles?
Brownian motion. This is random motion of micro particles resultimg from collisions between the particle in question and other particles in the surrounding medium.
