What part of a wave moves forward?
the upper part of the wave moves faster
Is the wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?
Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.
What moves instead of the water in the wave?
The energy in the wave .
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
Explain how water moves as wave energy travels through it?
Sea waves travel as up-and-down vibrations: the water moves up and down (without really moving anywhere) as the energy in the wave travels forward. Waves like this are called transverse waves. That just means the water vibrates at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Sound waves work in a completely different way.
What moves forward in a wave while particles in the wave remain in the same place?
Energy. Each particle of water moves around in a circle. Energy moves forward while water particles remain in the same place.
What moves forward in waves?
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
What part of a wave moves forward?
the upper part of the wave moves faster
Water in a wave move in a what but not very far forward?
It moves in a circle. Transferring energy.

What type of wave does the snake 's body make as the snake moves forward. explain?
A snake's body make a transverse wave as the snake moves forward.
What type of wave does the snake body make as the snake moves?
A snake's body make a transverse wave as the snake moves forward.
What moves instead of the water in the wave?
The energy in the wave .
Matter in the medium moves forward and backward what is that called?
A wave.A wave.A wave.A wave.
The wave crest of light waves are to the direction the wave travels?
Perpendicular. Light wave moves forward, the crests move at right angles to the wave
Why is an ocean wave classified as a surface wave?
The energy moves, not the water
