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.

Particles vibrate in the direction of the wave in longitudinal 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.
Waves in which the particles vibrate in an up-and down motion are called?
Those would be transverse waves!
Is a transverse wave an example of an longitudinal wave?
No, they are different types of wave. Transverse waves vibrate across the direction of motion, like the waves you get when you shake a rope. Longitudinal waves vibrate back and forth along the direction of motion like a sound wave.
In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves

perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
What is wave in which particles in the medium vibrate in an up an and down motion?
transverse waves
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 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.)

In which type of waves is the motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction of the wave is traveling?
transverse waves
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.
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels?
a compressional wave
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is called?
sciene stuff
For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Longitudinal wave
