How do particles in a wave move?
They move in a circular motion
Which type of wave is characterized by circular motion?
Surface waves from an earthquake shake the ground back and forth and up and down. So basically in a circular motion. This wave is the most dangerous wave released during and earthquake and it comes after the p and s waves. The Surface wave is the last wave that comes after the other 2. So yea' these surface waves move in a circular motion
Describe motion of a water molecule on the surface of the ocean as a wave passes by?
it goes from crest to trough in a wave like motion. this is the right answer
Where is the crest of a wave lllustrate?
The trough of a wave illustrate the negative circular motion of a given current.
The particles in a water wave move?
They move in a circular motion
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
How does the wave transport water molecules from the source of the vibration?
When a wave travels through water, it causes the water molecules to move in a circular motion in the direction of the wave propagation. This circular motion transfers energy from molecule to molecule as the wave passes by, eventually carrying the water molecules along with it. This is how water molecules are transported from the source of the vibration by the wave.
What is different about the motion of satellites that travel in elliptical paths compared to satellites that travel in circular paths?
Elliptical satellites don't have a constant speed, but circular satellites do
Does light energy travel in a wave motion?
Yes. Yes it does
What is circular motion?
Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion
What part of the water is affected by a wave in deep water?
The water molecules of a deep-water wave move in a circular motion. The diameter of the motion decreases with the distance from the surface. The motion is felt down to a distance of approximately one wavelength, where the wave's energy becomes negligible.
How both a wave's energy and the water in a wave move?
Ocean water within a wave moves in a circular motion in open water. As the wave approaches the shore, the water becomes shallow and the bottom.
