A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?

Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.


What wave is a wave in which matter move at right angles to the direction of the wave?

transverse wave


A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?

Transverse wave


Do transverse waves move perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the wave?

They move perpendicular to the direction they transfer


Does a transverse wave move a medium?

In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.


What is transverse wave in science terms?

A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.


What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?

Transverse wave.


In a transverse wave does the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction?

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 are waves that move the medium at RIGHT angles to the direction the wave travels?

transverse wave


How does transverse waves move?

When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.


What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?

In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.


What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?

The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
