Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves.
.
When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.

What are the waves that travel up and down?
It need not go up and down. Assuming the wave moves "forward", the individual particles may move up and down, or left and right - or diagonally. In any case, the individual particles move at right angles to the movement of the wave, because that is what "tarnsverse" means.
What type of dune forms at right angles to the wind when there is abundant sand a lack of vegatation and a constant wind direction?
barchan
Flemmings left Hand Rule?
Fleming's left hand rule for motors is a visual depiction used to determine direction of rotation in a motor. Extend your thumb, index finger and middle finger of your left hand at right angles to each other. The thumb represents direction of relative motion. The index finger represents direction of flux (magnetic field). The middle finger represents direction of current flow. A simple way of remembering what each digit represent is the phrase: "Martha's Fresh Cookies." M being motion, F being flux and C being current. Fleming's Right hand rule for generators is the same except you use your right hand and it applies to direction of rotation of generators.
How does the cleavage of feldspar differ from the cleavage of mica?
Biotite (black mica) and muscovite (white mica) are both minerals that have perfect basal cleavage--one direction. It cleaves into thin sheets. Feldspars (albite, oligoclase, andesine, labradorite, bytownite, anorthite) have good cleavage in two directions at nearly right angles, poor in a third direction.
What is the motor effect?
When the current passes at right angles through a magnetic field, it experiences a force. The direction of the force is determined by Flemmings "Left Hand Motor Rule" This mechanical motion results from the interaction of the magnetic field which is known as the Motor Effect.
What is traverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave that vibrates at right angles. This right angle wave goes in the direction of its propagation.
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
When the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport then the wave is what?
Transverse
Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Transverse or Electromagnetic waves.
What kind of waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to direction of the wave.?
secondary waves
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S Waves
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the wave?
secondary waves
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 is a wave that consists of changing electric and magnetic fields that vibrates at right angles to each other?
Electromagnetic wave
Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
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.
A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
