A transverse wave. The other sort are called longitudinal waves - a compressed part of whatever medium it is followed by a decompressed part.

Almost as soon as the depolarization wave begins a repolarization wave follows it across the membrane this occurs as?
This occurs as K+ diffuses out of the cell.
Wave that moves back and forth?
True. The up-down type of wave is called a "transverse wave". Light, for example, is this kind of wave. Sound, however, is a different kind of wave. It is the back-forth type, called "longitudinal", or "compression" waves.
What is the worst seismic wave?
Surface Waves, because they can shake the ground out from under a building.
How much faster is a wave with a frequency of 220Hz than a wave of 440Hz?
You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.
Determine the following for a wave traveling at 8 ms when each mark along the x y axis is equal to 0.02 m. the amplitude of the wave. the wavelength of the wave the frequency and period of the wave?
As hard as we try to ignore it, we can't shake the nagging feeling that there must have been some kind of a picture or a drawing that went along with this question in the book. Without the opportunity to study that drawing, we're powerless to make any progress toward an answer.
What occurs when a wave is reflected?
The wave can flip upside down
Reflection occurs when a wave does what?
It occurs when a wave which is incident on a surface changes direction.
Is erosion occurs when the rocks breaks down?
Yes, erosion occurs when something like a rock and a wave break it down over time.
What kind of wave occurs when ripples in a bathtub hit the wall of the tub?
Oh, that says RIPPLES, my mistake.
When a wave creates a strong under toe what kind of wave is it?
Rip currents are often associated with undertow, but the two are not related. Undertow occurs with all waves.
Rarefaction occurs only in?
Rarefaction only occurs in a longitudinal wave. Rarefaction is the reduction of the density of a medium. It is the opposite of compression.
What kind of wave is a radio wave?
A radio wave is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
What is a wave that occurs at the surface betwene to mediums?
transverse wave
Does wave interference occurs for all types of waves?
Yes, wave interference occurs for all types of waves.
What kind of waves move up and down or perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves?
Transverse I think.
Almost as soon as the depolarization wave begins a repolarization wave follows it across the membrane this occurs as?
This occurs as K+ diffuses out of the cell.
Which type of wave causes the ground to shake in a back and forth motion perpendicular to the focus?
S-wave -brony
