The back and forth movement of an object is called undulation, more commonly referred to as swaying or rocking. An object's undulation is measured in cycles (e.g. the number of times an object moves back and forth) per unit time. Ex. the undulation of a pendulum (such as in a grandfather clock) is usually measured in cycles per second.
What else can I help you with?
Electromagnetic waves move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels which makes them?
Compressional Waves
Which type of wave a sound wave is?
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
What is happening when a mass on a spring swings back and forth?
Acelleration
How do sound waves travel through water?
Hi, sound waves vibrate particles within a certain medium, and we can consider water as a medium just like air. the way sound waves work is by transmitting energy from the source (you maybe) through a medium, which is water in this case making the particles in water vibrate back and forth to carry the energy (sound waves) in all directions, so a receiver somewhere below the water can hear a noise. i hope this answered your question :)
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 a repeated back-and-forth are up-and-down motion?
A repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion is known as oscillation. This type of motion occurs regularly between two points or within a specific range. Oscillation is commonly seen in pendulums, springs, and waves.
What is the back and forth up and down motion of a wave?
The back and forth up and down motion of a wave is called oscillation. This motion involves the movement of particles or energy in a repeated pattern around a central point. oscillation can be seen in various natural phenomena such as sound waves, light waves, and water waves.
What is a repeated back and forth and up and down motion?
vibration
What is repeated back and forth or up and down motion?
vibration
What is a repeated back or forth or up or down motion?
vibration
Which waves cause particle motion that is back and forth in a direction parallel to the wave motion?
Transverse waves cause particles to move back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cause particles to move back and forth in a direction parallel to the wave motion.
What waves can cause back and forth motion?
p A+
What waves cause back and forth motion.?
p A+
What type of waves cause back and forth motion?
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation, creating a back and forth motion. This type of wave motion is characteristic of waves on a rope or string.
What waves cause a back and forth motion?
Transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This leads to a back-and-forth motion of particles. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves such as light and water waves.
These waves cause back and forth motion?
That would likely be a mechanical or longitudinal wave, where the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of wave propagation, creating the motion. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
What is a repeated back and forth or up and down motion called?
That motion is called oscillation. It refers to a regular back and forth movement typically around a central point.
