What are wave called when moving up and down?
A sine wave or sinusoid, forms an oscillation, or is oscillating in a regular up and down movement.
A wave is created by moving a rope up and down the energy is increased but not he speed of the motion What will happen to the wave?
The amplitude of the wave increases.
What is the difference between bulk motion and wave motion?
In Bulk Motion, the actual object is moving along in a wave formation. In Wave Motion, only the wave is moving, not the material . Picture a 'wave' at a ball game. The people move up and down but not from seat to seat. This is Wave Motion.
What are transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y-zplane.
Why does an ocean bouy bob up and down as a wave passes by?
Buoys float on the water. Waves are water moving. The moving water moves the floating buoy.

If a transverse wave is moving from right to left the individual particles in the medium are moving?
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.
Parts of water that don't move along with a wave?
Water does not move with a wave believe it or not. It moves up and down with the wave but a wave is just energy moving through something.
What is the direct measure of energy from mechanical wave?
Amplitude is the direct measure of energy from a mechanical wave.=Waves are produced by something (a medium) vibrating. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates, the larger the amplitude of the resulting wave. For example, you can increase the amplitude of a wave on a rope by moving your hand up and down a greater distance. To do this you have to use more energy. The energy is transfered to the rope. The greater amplitude is a direct measure of the increased energy.=

The hertz is used to measure the frequency of sound if something is rated at 150 hertz what does that mean?
That means that whatever that wave is, whether it be a radio or television wave, is moving up and down 150 times per second.
Tranverse wave is a wave that moves perpendicular?
A transverse wave is a moving wave in which the displacement of the medium carrying the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propogation. An example of a transverse wave is a string oscillating up and down.

What causes an ocean wave to slow down?
because the water gets deeper. so the swells in the ocean are more frequent but smaller since theres more water
