As you face the south pole what direction is on your right?
North.
What medium does the artist use in the genre of painting?
The right medium will complement the artist's subject and improve the overall quality of the artwork; the wrong medium can detract from it.
How do you align a vehicle?
You make sure that all the wheels are pointing in the right direction,
Why do seismic waves travel faster through a solid rock than through water?
We are talking about the seisimc waves in an earthquake. The difference in the speed of travel of the two waves has to do with what has to happen to the medium (the ground or the earth) to transmit the energy of the seismic wave. Let's look. The P wave is a longitudinal wave or a compression wave. The force is applied in the direction that the wave is traveling. The ground must move in that direction. Ground or earth is pretty incompressible, so the energy is transferred pretty quickly. In the S wave, the medium is displaced in a transverse (up and down - compared to the line of travel) way, and the medium must shear or "move away" from the material right next to it to cause the shear and transmit the wave. This takes more time, and this is why the S wave moves more slowly than the P wave in seismic events. Need a link to seismic waves? You got it. Wikipedia has a good article, and the pictures are worth the trip over to view them.
What direction should a eagle tattoo face?
I would say flying to the right, but it's a matter of opinion.
When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?
Transverse
What source of energy cause a transverse wave?
A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.
What are waves that move the medium at RIGHT angles to the direction the wave travels?
transverse wave
When the temperature wave that travel through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate?
B. at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
transverse waves
What is transverse wave in science terms?
A transverse wave are waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel.
How does transverse waves move?
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
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
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
What wave occurs when the motion of the medium is at right angles?
radio waves
What waves occur when the motion of the medium is at the right angles?
radio waves
Are light waves transverse waves?
Yes, light waves are transverse, because in light wave, disturbance of the medium occurs at right angles to the direction of wave propagation of wave.
