Waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
transverse waves
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
What wave occur when the motion of medium is at right angels ( perpendiclar) to the direction of th e wave?
Transverse waves occur when the motion of medium is at right angels (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave
What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.

The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
When force is and what direction of motion no work is done?
Perpendicular (90o). Like whirling an object around on a piece of string. The force is along the string, at right angles to the motion.
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?
No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.
For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
What waves occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the waves?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
