What does transverse vibration mean?
Physics.periodic disturbances for which the particle oscillations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of propagation
Evenly timed disturbances in a medium create an?
Evenly timed disturbances in a medium create a periodic wave.
How is the wave and its medium connected?
waves are connected to medium because they are means by which disturbances are transported.
What are period waves?
A series of regular timed disturbances in a medium.
What are periodic-waves?
A series of regular timed disturbances in a medium.
What does transverse vibration mean?
Physics.periodic disturbances for which the particle oscillations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of propagation
An wave is created when a medium experiences evenly timed disturbances?
A periodic traveling wave is created when a medium experiences evenly timed disturbances.
Evenly timed disturbances in a medium create an?
Evenly timed disturbances in a medium create a periodic wave.
What is the definition of 'constructive interference'?
Constructive interference is and interference that happens in any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction. Destructive interference is interference that happens at any place along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction.
How is the wave and its medium connected?
waves are connected to medium because they are means by which disturbances are transported.
What happens to the light ray when it passes from a low speed medium to a higher speed medium?
It changes direction, according to Snell's Law.
What are period waves?
A series of regular timed disturbances in a medium.
What are periodic-waves?
A series of regular timed disturbances in a medium.
What is transferred through a medium?
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
What are the disturbances in waves?
The disturbances in waves are the ones that push the waves. This can be defined as a variation or oscillation that travels though a medium from one point to another.
What causes sound to travel?
Sound waves are produced by vibrations, which causes disturbances in the surrounding medium .These disturbances are transferred from the source in the form of longitudinal waves.
