A wave ceated by a shaking rope up and down is called?
transverse wave
Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?
Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.
What wave is a transverse wave that occurs with earthquakes?
S-waves (or Secondary waves) and Love waves are both transverse seismic waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
It is compression corresponds to the trough of a transverse in a sound wave?
compression
The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
What is the highest point of transverse Wave called?
a crest.
Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
What are the highest and lowest points in a transverse wave called?
Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.
What are the high and low points of a transverse wave called?
The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
What are the lowest points on transverse wave called?
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
What is it called when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine?
it is called a seismic wave
What is the distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave?
The distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave is called a wavelength.
Lowest part of a transverse wave?
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
Transverse wave.
