The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?
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.
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
What is the medium of seismic waves?
earth
What is the material called that waves travel through?
Any material through which any wave travels is called a medium. Ocean waves travel through the medium of seawater. Sound cannot travel through outer space, because there is no medium there to support sound waves. Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium through which to travel. Usually air, or a solid or liquid - matter in other words.
Waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
transverse waves
How are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different from one another?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves I.E the direction of movement of each particle in the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the transfer of energy, similar to a water wave. Sound waves are transverse and so the direction of the movement of the particles in the medium is the same direction as the movement of the energy.
When waves change speed when moving from one medium to another?
Then, if they don't arrive from the direction perpendicular to the interface, they are refracted.
What wave occur when the motion of medium is at right angels ( perpendiclar) to the direction of th e wave?
Transverse waves occur when the motion of medium is at right angels (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave
What wave particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal... No, the particles move transverse to the wave direction. And that they are in 2 perpendicular surfaces, which are intersected in a line, and that line is the base line of the 2 direction waves.
transverse waves?
this is the waves of secondary waves that has perpendicular to the direction of waves
Why are electromagnetic waves sometimes called transverse waves?
Because the theory is that this is what the form is. If it were a longitudinal or compressional form (such as sound) it would need to travel through a medium of some sort to compress the particles of that medium. But electromagnetic radiation can travel even in a vacuum.
Do transverse waves move perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the wave?
They move perpendicular to the direction they transfer
What are Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling called?
Longitudinal. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound. It pushes the medium particles forwards and backwards, parallel to the wave's direction. Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the wave. (E.g. visible light, x-rays, microwaves)
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?
In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.
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.
