Transverse waves cause particles to move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cause particles to move back and forth in a direction parallel to the wave motion.
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation, creating a back and forth motion. This type of wave motion is characteristic of waves on a rope or string.
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This leads to a back-and-forth motion of particles. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves such as light and water waves.
That would likely be a mechanical or longitudinal wave, where the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of wave propagation, creating the motion. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
Seismic waves, specifically shear waves or S-waves, cause particles in rock to move back and forth during an earthquake. These waves propagate by producing a side-to-side motion that leads to the shaking and fracturing of rocks.
Surface waves, specifically Love waves and Rayleigh waves, cause the ground to shake in a back and forth motion perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. These waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the horizontal shaking experienced during an earthquake.
The back and forth up and down motion of a wave is called oscillation. This motion involves the movement of particles or energy in a repeated pattern around a central point. oscillation can be seen in various natural phenomena such as sound waves, light waves, and water waves.
Sound waves are caused by the back and forth movement or vibration of an object. This motion creates pressure variations in the surrounding medium, which propagate as waves.
Vibrations
Compression or commonly called a longitudinal wave.
Compressional waves, also known as longitudinal waves, move in a back-and-forth motion parallel to the direction of wave propagation. These waves cause particles in the medium to move closer together and farther apart as the wave passes through. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
