When a wave propagation takes place in a material medium no particle of the medium moves along with the wave. Only the partciles of the medium make vibrations or oscillations. These are of two type
One if the particles vibrate simple harmonically in the direction of propagation then it is said to be LONGITUDINAL
If the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of porpagation then it will be said to be TRANSVERSE

A trough in a transverse wave corresponds to a in a longitudinal wave?
If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.
Is the amount of matter cycled through the environment always remains the same true or false?
False, because tons of matter falls into our gravity well every day.
Transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
False. Compressional.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
False
True or false radio waves are electromagnetic waves?
False
In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
A trough in a transverse wave corresponds to a in a longitudinal wave?
If you are looking for a true/false answer, it's false.
True or false the material through which wave travels is called transverse?
just think for a second... what does a transverse wave look like and what does visible light waves look like? the same? yes. yes it is transverse not longitudinal.
Is It true or false that a water ripple is a transverse wave?
True
Is the amount of matter cycled through the environment always remains the same true or false?
False, because tons of matter falls into our gravity well every day.

False. Compressional.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
False
True or false radio waves are electromagnetic waves?
False
Is this true or false mecanical waves din't need matter to travel through?
False, mechanical waves need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, don't.
A transverse wave moves in a medium at an obtuse angle to the wave true or false?
Yes
Is it true or false that energy is transferred to the surface of the sun by the processes of radiation and conduction?
It's false because the transfer of energy through matter by direct contact of its particles is conduction.Have a nice day :)
True or false when a substance burns matter is destoryed?
false: matter cannot be destroyed
