What else can I help you with?
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
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
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a wave?
false, they vibrate parallel
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 happens to a ray of light when it travels from a dense medium to a less dense medium?
-- Its speed becomes less in the denser medium. -- Its wavelength becomes greater in the denser medium. -- If its direction is not perpendicular to the boundary between the media, then its path in the denser medium is closer to the perpendicular. (This is 'refraction'.)
In what direction does the medium vibrate?
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
What type of wave is produced when a string in a sitar vibrates?
The type of wave produced when a string in a sitar vibrates is a transverse wave. This means that the particles of the medium (like air) move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation as the sound travels through the material.
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
What is the direction in which a transverse wave travels?
A transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the individual particle of the medium is vibrating. This means that the wave's energy is transmitted horizontally or vertically, while the particles of the medium move in a different direction.
A transverse wave is traveling from right to left. What direction does the medium vibrate?
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In this case, the particles of the medium will vibrate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
In what type of waves energy travels perpendicular to the motion of the medium?
In transverse waves, the energy travels perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is moving. This causes the particles in the medium to move in a direction that is different from the direction of energy propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
What type of wave that travels in one direction but the energy travels perpendicular to this direction?
This describes a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving. Examples include light waves, waves on a string, and electromagnetic waves.
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
A wave where the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
Is it true or false that a transverse wave causes its medium to move parallel to the direction the wave travels?
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave with twice the force of the energy provided at right angles to the direction the wave travels parallel to the direction the wave travels with half the?
If the medium vibrates in a transverse wave with twice the force at right angles to the direction the wave travels, it means the amplitude of the wave is doubled in that direction. If the wave also travels parallel to the direction it moves with half the energy, it means that the wave carries less energy forward because some of the energy is directed towards vibrating the medium at right angles.
