How do the particles of a transverse wave vibrate?
They vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
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.
do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.

do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.
In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
transverse waves.
What is the difference between a tansverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
If the particles of the material medium vibrated in a perpendicular direction to the direction of propagation of the wave then it is said to be TRANSVERSE If the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation then it will be longitudinal
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
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
What is the wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels called?
Longitudinal wave. (as opposed to Transverse waves, where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of movement.)
Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse Wave.
Wave in which particles of the medium vibrate in up and down motion?
A transverse wave is when the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the source.
What is wave in which particles in the medium vibrate in an up an and down motion?
transverse waves
