What else can I help you with?
What are the waves that move through the Earth's crust called?
Seismic waves.
What are Waves that move the particles of the wave parallel to the direction the waves are traveling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
Waves that move up and down are called?
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and waves on a guitar string.
What are the waves that the partices of the medium move only in the same direction as the motion of the wave?
Such waves are called Longitudinal Waves.
Which type of wave has points called nodes that do not move?
Standing waves have points called nodes that do not move. These nodes are points of zero amplitude where the two interfering waves cancel each other out.
What are two types of waves called?
Two types of waves are transverse waves, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, and longitudinal waves, where the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave.
What is the name of sound waves that move through water?
They are called sound waves. Their name does not change just because they travel in water.
What are Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling called?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction that the waves are travelling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called primary (P-waves) or compressional waves. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
What are waves that move back and forth?
Compression or commonly called a longitudinal wave.
What is the bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening called?
The bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when waves encounter an obstacle or aperture that causes them to spread out and change direction.
