surface waves
They move up and down, but do not move forward (NJASK8 Earth Science)
Electrons are the particles that move around the nucleus in constant and random motion.
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.
In a solid the particles are packed tightly together in a more raged formation . in a liquid the particles move passing each other in a gas the particles move freely in the space they have
gas particles move fastly spread apart
In an ocean wave, water particles move in a circular motion. As the wave passes through, water particles move in an elliptical path, with the motion decreasing in size as it gets deeper. The circular motion of water particles is what helps transport energy across the ocean surface.
They move in a circular motion
Water moves in a circular motion during the passage of a wave. As the wave passes through, water particles move in an elliptical path where the motion decreases with depth. This circular motion is responsible for the transfer of energy in a wave.
In a circular motion, particles move in a curved path around a central point or axis. This motion is caused by a centripetal force that continuously pulls the particles towards the center of the circle, preventing them from moving in a straight line. The particles maintain their speed but change direction, resulting in a constant circular motion.
Applying a centripetal force to the particles will cause them to move in a circular motion. This force acts perpendicular to the direction of the particles' motion, allowing them to move in a curved path. The velocity of the particles remains constant, but their direction changes continuously as they revolve around a central point.
Transverse waves.
As a wave passes by, the particles on the surface of the water move in a circular motion. The particles move in the direction that the wave is traveling causing the water to rise and fall in response to the wave passing by. This circular motion is crucial for transferring energy across the surface of the water.
Surface waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motion of the particles in the medium. This means the particles move both up and down, as well as back and forth, in a circular or elliptical motion. The motion of the particles is more complex compared to simple longitudinal or transverse waves.
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
Seismic waves are the move generated by energy traveling outward from the epicenter in a circular motion, causing particles to oscillate. These waves are responsible for the shaking and ground motion during an earthquake.
Particles in a surface wave move in an elliptical path, with a combination of vertical and horizontal motion depending on the wave's characteristics. As the wave passes through the medium, particles are both pushed and pulled by the wave's energy, causing them to move in circular or elliptical patterns.
Rayleigh waves produce elliptical motion where the particles move both vertically and horizontally in a rolling motion. The particles move in an elliptical path in the direction of wave propagation, with a retrograde motion relative to the wave direction. Rayleigh waves are surface waves that travel along the surface of a solid material.
