Is the stadium wave at right a transverse or longitudinal wave?

Its a transverse wave.


What is the incidence angle at which the angle of refraction is 90 degrees called?

A right angle.


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 a wave moving at a right angle to its medium?

A wave moving at a right angle to its medium is called a transverse wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, electromagnetic waves, and waves on a string.

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.


Describes lines that meet at right angles as in a transverse wave?

Lines that meet at right angles in a transverse wave are called perpendicular. In a transverse wave, the direction of propagation of the wave is at a right angle to the direction of oscillation of the wave particles. This pattern creates crests and troughs perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.


What Describes lines that meet at right angle as in a transverse wave?

Lines that meet at a right angle, as in a transverse wave, are perpendicular to each other. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. This characteristic of transverse waves allows for the wave to exhibit properties such as polarization, where the oscillations are confined to a single plane.


Wave in witch matter moves at a right angle to the direction of the wave?

Transverse wave. In this type of wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Classical example of transverse wave is electromagnetic wave.


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.

What is the angle of a tranverse wave in vibrating and direction?

The angle of a transverse wave is the angle at which the wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of travel. It represents the up-and-down motion of the wave as it propagates through the medium. The angle remains constant as the wave moves forward.


What is a mechanical wave in which matter moves at a right angle to the wave direction?

A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include light waves and water waves.
