What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
In a transverse wave in what direction are the vibration relative to the direction of wave travel?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What is a type of a mechanical wave whose direction of vibration is perpendicular to its direction of travel?
Transverse Wave
What is carried by waves?
Water waves are transverse waves this means that the motion of the particles travels perpendicularly to the direction of the wave travel
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.
Differences between longitudinal and transverse waves?
Okay so you have a transverse wave, which is a wave (a transfer of energy) that transfers energy perpendicular to the direction that the energy is being transferred. For example: if you are playing with a slinky, and your friend is holding the other end of the slinky, and you shake the slinky, you are creating a transverse wave. Now you have a longitudinal wave, which transfers energy parallel to the direction that the energy is being transferred. The best example I can give to you is a sound wave, that is transferring kinetic energy in the same direction that the energy is headed, and that is why there is a "speed of sound" because sound travels in the same direction that the energy is headed, or parallel to it. And a surface wave is a mechanical wave (a wave that travels across a medium, a medium being, well, anything that is not a vacuum) that changes medium while traveling. The best example I can give you is ocean waves. When you see a typical wave in the sea, that is a surface wave.

What is the difference between compreesinal waves and transverse wave?
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. where as compressional waves (also known as Longitudinal waves) are waves that have the same direction of oscillations parallel to their direction of travel I hope this clears it out...
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 a definition of a tranverse wave?
Transverse Wave is a wave that oscillates perpendicular to the axis along which the wave travel or a transverse wave is a wave in which vibrating element moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the wave.Example: The Waves in bodies of water are also transverse waves.
What source of energy cause a transverse wave?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.
What kind of wave is a wave in which the matter in the wave moves in the same direction as the wave?
waves in which matter in the medium moves on the same direction as the wave are called?
What direction do sound waves travel?
It depends if its transverse or longitudinal.
What type of wave carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow?
a transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled)to the direction of energy transfer.
