it's the transverse wave that carries waves on a string .b'caz waves on a string proceed along the length of the string but the particles of the medium that is the particles of the string move perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

What is whatever carries a wave called?

A medium is what carries a wave. It can be a substance such as water for water waves, air for sound waves, or even space for light waves. The medium is necessary for the wave to travel through.


What kind of wave carries energy?

mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.


What are transeverse waves?

Transverse waves are types of mechanical waves where particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string, where the particles of the string move up and down while the wave moves horizontally. Electromagnetic waves are also considered transverse waves.


What kind of wave carries radio, television, and telephone information?

Electromagnetic waves carry radio, television, and telephone information.


What is any kind of signal that carries information that can be detected?

An example of a signal that carries information and can be detected is an electromagnetic wave, such as radio waves or light waves. These waves can encode data and be received by antennas or sensors for further processing and interpretation.


Why is a wave pulse traveling on a string considered a transverse wave?

Because the media displacement (up & down movement of the string) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the medi displacement is back & forth, which is parallel to the wave propagation.


Why a longitudinal wave can not be made to travel along a string?

Longitudinal waves travel on a string!


Which property of a mechanical waves is determined by the energy that the wave carries?

The amplitude of a mechanical wave is determined by the energy that the wave carries. Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. Higher energy waves have greater amplitudes.


What kind of wave is a surface wave?

Surface waves are transverse waves.


What is a disterbance that carries energy from place to place?

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another without transporting matter. Examples include sound waves, light waves, and water waves.


Are waves plucked on a guitar string purely longitudinal wave?

No.


Is it possible to have a longitudinal wave in stretched string?

yes, Its possible to have a longitudinal wave on a stretched string by stroking it along its length by a rosined cloth. However, in the wave motion of a stretched string ( tant string with fixed ends) wave (disturbance) produced at one fixed end travels along the length of the string and get reflected back at the other end. Since the original wave and the reflected wave have the same frequency and amplitude, they superimpose to produce stationary transverse disturbance.
