In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
What are the motion of the particles like inside the medium of a transverse wave?
in a transverse wave the individual particles of the medium
A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?
Transverse wave
What kind of wave is a transverse wave?
a wave that the particles of the medium mover perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling

Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas medium?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium how do the molecules of the medium vibrate?
The quaggas of the wave, which are the midpoints, start to spasm out of control.
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
When a compression wave travels through a medium, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Compression waves are commonly called longitudinal waves.
What are the motion of the particles like inside the medium of a transverse wave?
in a transverse wave the individual particles of the medium
How does the speed of a wave relate to the density of the medium it is traveling through?
The faster the wave, the denser the medium
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
