Surface Waves can propagate only along the boundary of solid.

Two types are:


Rayliegh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.


Love Waves are polarized shear wave with an associated oscillatory particle motion parallel to the free space and perpendicular to the direction wave motion.

what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?

Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.


Ocean waves are what kind of wave type?

Ocean waves are mechanical waves. The waves on the surface are surface waves (particles move in a circular motion) while the waves in the depths are longitudinal (particles move parallel to the wave propogation).


Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?

surface waves


Which particles move parallel to wave motion?

The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.


What does a wave transfer if the particles themselves do not move?

If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.

What is a wave in which particles move up and down?

Transverse Wave.


How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?

Movement in a transverse wave is perpendicular to the source. Therefore, individual particles move up & down.
