Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Its a transverse wave.
When incident angle is equal to critical angle then angle of refraction will be what?
When the angle of incidence equals the critical angle, there is no refraction wave as we usually understand it. The result is a surface wave. Let us suppose we are asking about light incident on a flat interface between to mediums which are transparent (nonabsorbing). The formula for the angle of refraction says the angle of refraction approaches 90 degrees, so the direction the wave would be traveling would be parallel to the interface. The same formulas in electromagnetic theory will also predict that the energy transmitted across the surface decreases to zero as the angle of incidence increases towards the critical angle. That is the equivalent to the more common statement that there is total internal refection. Advanced mathematical treatments of this topic show that the electromagnetic field does exist on the transmission side of the interface and that energy is flowing parallel to the interface in that region. That is the surface wave. The energy in the surface wave decays exponentially with distance from the interface into the transmission region.
What is the incidence angle at which the angle of refraction is 90 degrees called?
A right angle.
What are two lines that meet at a right angle?
Two lines that meet at a right angle are called perpendicular.Two lines that meet at a right angle are also called normal.Two lines that meet at a right angle are also called orthogonal.
When particles of wave move at right angle what type of wave is it?
Transverse wave
What is a mechanical wave in which matter moves at a right angle to the wave direction?
Transverse wave.
What is traverse waves?
A transverse wave is a wave that vibrates at right angles. This right angle wave goes in the direction of its propagation.
What wave matter moves at a right angle to the wave direction?

What is a longitutional wave?
A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space. If the disturbance is along the direction of the propagation (of the wave movement), the wave is said to be longitudinal. If the disturbance is at a right angle to the wave movement, the wave is said to be transversal.A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space.

What is the angle between a ray of light and its wave front?
A light ray is always at right angles to its wave front.
What are the oscillations of a transverse wave?
"Transverse" means that whatever oscillates, does so at a right angle to the direction in which the wave advances.
What Describes lines that meet at right angle as in a transverse wave?
Perpendicular! Yay!
What type of wave carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow?
a transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled)to the direction of energy transfer.
