What is carried by waves?
Water waves are transverse waves this means that the motion of the particles travels perpendicularly to the direction of the wave travel
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of 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
How does sound travel in solid materials?
Sound travels by causing molecules in the material to vibrate parallel to the direction of motion. Sound waves are longitudinal 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 kind of wave forms when the vibrating particles move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is going?
Transverse waves.
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.
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.)

transverse waves.
