What are Waves that move the particles of the wave parallel to the direction the waves are traveling are called?
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is a waves
S waves can only travel through?
sound waves can only travel through particles, which is why it is hard to hear through double glazing as there is a vacume between the two panes of glass. There are no particles in a vacume.
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
Sound waves are what waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which transfer energy by compressing particles, which then apply pressure on the particles infront of them. The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
What is heat energy that is transferred by particles or waves called?
Particles is one thing, waves is something else. Heat transferred by the motion of particles can be conduction or convection. Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves is radiation.
Light exhibits characteristics of waves particles both waves and particles neither waves nor particles?
Yes, light has both properties of light, and waves.

How do waves get their energy?
by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves by the particles in the sea when they bump togheter they give power to the waves

The point at which the particles are compressed is known as the compression, whereas the point at which the particles are most spaced out is known as the rarefaction
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.

Particles is one thing, waves is something else. Heat transferred by the motion of particles can be conduction or convection. Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves is radiation.
Ocean waves are what kind of wave type?
Ocean waves are mechanical waves. The waves on the surface are surface waves (particles move in a circular motion) while the waves in the depths are longitudinal (particles move parallel to the wave propogation).
When particles spread?
Sound does not spread out in particles but in waves. Imagine dropping a pebble in a still lake...and that is how sound waves spread out. Sound waves can also reverberate through harder materials; however, soft materials absorb the vibrations.
What are waves in physics?
Waves are vibrations that pass through a substance. The vibrations make the particles in the substance vibrate, which, in turn, make surrounding particles vibrate. There are different kinds of waves in physics. Mechanical Waves, Electromagnetic Waves. Mechanical waves being those on strings, for example. Electromagnetic waves being those in electric/magnetic fields, for example. (radio waves, light, ultraviolet radiation) Transverse waves - those waves that are perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles. Longitudinal waves - those waves that are parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles.
