What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
Transverse Wave.
How do wave particles move?
Particles in transverse waves oscillate in a vertical motion. (they move up and down, Just in case ;))
Do the energy in waves move water particles forward?
Not really.The individual water particles in a wave move in a circle (up, forward, down, backward) with very little net resulting travel.
How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
Movement in a transverse wave is perpendicular to the source. Therefore, individual particles move up & down.
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
Transverse Wave.
Do particles of air in a sound wave move up and down?
no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
What moves in waves?
The particles of the medium move up and down as the wave passes. The crests and troughs of the waves move with the wave.
How do wave particles move?
Particles in transverse waves oscillate in a vertical motion. (they move up and down, Just in case ;))
In water waves water particles move in?
Water particles (molecules) move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means that as the wave moves out across the water, which is its direction of propagation, the water molecules move up and down (transversely) to create the crests and troughs of the wave.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.

What occurs as energy is transferred through a wave?
They move up and down, but do not move forward (NJASK8 Earth Science)
How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
Movement in a transverse wave is perpendicular to the source. Therefore, individual particles move up & down.
How does the water in an ocean wave move?
Simple harmonic motion (up and down around a point of equilibrium). Water waves that crash onto a beach are not particles that come from way out in sea because water particles move up and down in one place (unless they have an outside and constant force applied to them). Water particles at the top of the ocean have both transversal and longitudinal motion.
Do ocean waves travel in longitudinal waves?
No, they are transverse a water particle moves perpendicular to the motion of the wave (water particles move up and down where are the wave moves left or right)
