Types of wave motion?
Here are two types of wave motion depending on the direction of wave propagation and the vibration of particles of the medium:1.Transverse waves:When the particles of a medium vibrate in a direction at right angles to the direction of propagation of the disturbance through the medium, the waves set up in the medium are called transverse waves.2.Longitudinal waves:When the particles of a medium vibrate in the direction of propagation of the disturbance through the medium, the waves set up in the medium are called longitudinal waves
Describe light as an electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic waves mean "Waves requiring no medium" As light waves are infact "Very small particles called photons with neither MASS nor any WEIGHT" so light when travels makes a medium for itself.
Why sound needs median to travel?
I think you mean medium not median.Sound travels through vibrations. You need the particles in a solid, liquid or gas to be present to pass on those vibrations. One particle vibrating against another makes it vibrate. If you are in a vacuum (with no particles) sound will not travel.
What happens when light moves form one kind of matter to another?
that changes the speed of the light, which makes the light bend
What makes laser light disperse?
Refraction of the medium it is passing through.
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
What makes two line parallel?
if they never cross and are going in the same direction (example: railroad tracks)
How does such motion affect the matter's volume and shape?
It Moves the particles diffrent direction and that's what makes the difference :)

Why do glacial striations show the direction a glacier moved?
In the sense that it makes it known that the rock existed before a period of glaciation, yes.

Tiny particles which makes matter?
These particles are called atoms.

What is the significance of the direction a gnomon shadow points?
In the northern hemisphere, the shadow-casting edge of a sundial gnomon is normally oriented so that it points north. This makes it parallel to the rotation axis of the Earth.

Do they make a 600v medium to medium socket extension?
yes, Swivelier makes one. #29981
