In a transverse wave in what direction are the vibration relative to the direction of wave travel?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
Is a transverse wave an example of an longitudinal wave?
No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
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
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave

Which direction is the particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave?
The particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave is downward.
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves
What type of wave is sea waves?
A wave in sea or ocean is a transverse wave produced by oscillation of water perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
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.
Waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
transverse waves
