A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a wave?
false, they vibrate parallel
Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
What is a right angle wave?
A transverse wave.
A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a?
Disturbance in particle motion parallel to the wave velocity is called a longitudinal wave. Disturbance in particle motion perpendicular to the wave velocity is called a transverse wave.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
What wave contains high points called crest?
transverse wave
What are the lowest points on transverse wave called?
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
What are the highest and lowest points in a transverse wave called?
Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.
What contains High Point called crests?
transverse wave
What is the highpoint in a transverse wave?
The high point in a transverse wave is called the 'crest'. if you need more help, the 'trough' is the low point.
What wave energy causes matter in the medium to move up and down or back an forth at right angles to the wave?
The answer to your question is a longitudinal wave. The motion of the wave is parallel to the direction of the particles. An example is a sound wave.When particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave. An example is a water wave.
What are the high points of a wave?
It is called the crest.
What is it called when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine?
it is called a seismic wave
Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
What is the highest pint of the transverse wave called?
The highest point on a transverse wave is called a crest. Also, the lowest point is called a trough.
What is the distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave?
The distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave is called a wavelength.
