What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
Waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
transverse waves
What wave occur when the motion of medium is at right angels ( perpendiclar) to the direction of th e wave?
Transverse waves occur when the motion of medium is at right angels (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a wave?
false, they vibrate parallel
For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a?
Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.

Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?
Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
What is motion perpendicular to the ground?
Vertical motion is the motion that is perpendicular to the ground.
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
How are the mechanical waves formed?
Any kind of disturbance triggers mechanical waves that propagate perpendicular to the motion of disturbance. However for mechanical motion, it is necessary that the wave is propagated in a medium.
