How can you say that an ocean wave is a mechanical wave?
An ocean wave is a mechanical wave because it requires a medium to travel through, which in this case is water. The wave energy is transferred by the water molecules moving in a vibrational motion, causing the wave to propagate.
Why does an ocean bouy bob up and down as a wave passes by?
An ocean buoy bobs up and down as a wave passes by because the wave causes the water particles to move in circular orbits. The buoy reacts to these circular motions by moving up and down as the wave passes underneath it.
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
When a wave passes through the ocean it does what?
When a wave passes through the ocean it may make a wave.
What wave is similar to an ocean's wave?
A sound wave
How long does it take for a wave to cross the ocean?
depends on the size of the wave and what ocean it is in
What is a moving ridge of water called?
A moving ridge of water is called a wave. Waves are energy traveling through water, typically caused by wind blowing over the surface of the ocean.
What wave is produced when a wave train moving in one direction meets an identical wave train moving in the opposite direction?
a dildo wave
How does the ocean wave wave?
gravity of course!
Is a ocean wave a transverse wave?
yes it is
What ocean motion occurs when a wave strikes the bottom of the ocean?
A breaker wave, a surf.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
