Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves.
.
When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.

What type of dune forms at right angles to the wind when there is abundant sand a lack of vegatation and a constant wind direction?
barchan
What are the waves that travel up and down?
It need not go up and down. Assuming the wave moves "forward", the individual particles may move up and down, or left and right - or diagonally. In any case, the individual particles move at right angles to the movement of the wave, because that is what "tarnsverse" means.
Flemmings left Hand Rule?
Fleming's left hand rule for motors is a visual depiction used to determine direction of rotation in a motor. Extend your thumb, index finger and middle finger of your left hand at right angles to each other. The thumb represents direction of relative motion. The index finger represents direction of flux (magnetic field). The middle finger represents direction of current flow. A simple way of remembering what each digit represent is the phrase: "Martha's Fresh Cookies." M being motion, F being flux and C being current. Fleming's Right hand rule for generators is the same except you use your right hand and it applies to direction of rotation of generators.
How does the cleavage of feldspar differ from the cleavage of mica?
Biotite (black mica) and muscovite (white mica) are both minerals that have perfect basal cleavage--one direction. It cleaves into thin sheets. Feldspars (albite, oligoclase, andesine, labradorite, bytownite, anorthite) have good cleavage in two directions at nearly right angles, poor in a third direction.
What is the motor effect?
When the current passes at right angles through a magnetic field, it experiences a force. The direction of the force is determined by Flemmings "Left Hand Motor Rule" This mechanical motion results from the interaction of the magnetic field which is known as the Motor Effect.
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?
Transverse
What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to direction of the wave.?
secondary waves
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S Waves
Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves are the type of waves in which particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave's propagation. This can be seen in phenomena such as light waves, water waves, and seismic S waves.
What causes particles in matter to move back and forth at right angles to the directtion in which the wave travels?
Particles in matter move back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave due to the transverse nature of the wave. This motion is perpendicular to the wave direction and is characteristic of electromagnetic waves such as light. The vibration of particles allows the wave energy to propagate through the material in a transverse direction.
Describes lines that meet at right angles as in a transverse wave?
Lines that meet at right angles in a transverse wave are called perpendicular. In a transverse wave, the direction of propagation of the wave is at a right angle to the direction of oscillation of the wave particles. This pattern creates crests and troughs perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
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.
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
These are seismic waves, which are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's interior. They cause particles in the ground to move at right angles to the direction of wave propagation.
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the wave?
secondary waves
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave propagation.
What is traverse waves?
Transverse waves are a type of wave in which the oscillations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
