Which type of wave is described as a wave that is not confined to the space along the medium?
Traveling wave
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 =]
The type of surface that warms up the slowest is the?
The type of surface that warms up the slowest is the "ocean" surface.
When you tap a glass with a little water in it It has a high pitch when you tap a glass with water filled to the top it has a low pitch why does this happen?
Glass has a natural frequency at which it vibrates, known as its resonant frequency. If you put energy into the substance at its resonant frequency, you will force it to vibrate or resonate (resonance is a forced vibration). So, tapping imparts energy to the glass molecules and causes them to resonate. This motion sets up a wave of vibration traveling through the glass. The vibrating glass causes air molecules to vibrate similarly. The vibrating air molecules are the sound wave that you hear (the frequency or pitch of the sound wave is the same as the resonant frequency of the glass). As the resonant wave moves through the glass, it moves the water molecules with it, creating a wave of water that you can see near the edge of the glass. The dragging water molecules effectively increase the mass (both the water and the glass molecules) and reduce the energy of the wave traveling through the glass. When the energy is reduced, so is the frequency of the wave in the glass, which is reflected in the pitch of the sound wave that you hear. In simpler terms, when you tap a glass with a lot of water in it, there are fewer vibrations because they have more trouble traveling through the higher mass. Thus, the lower pitch.
Particles of a matter move the slowest in a?
solid
Is a secondary wave the slowest?
Yes asecondarywave is the slowest
Which wave travel the slowest?
surface wave
In what direction is the wave traveling?
The wave is traveling in the direction indicated by its movement.
In which direction is the wave traveling?
The wave is traveling in the direction indicated by its movement.
What is the relationship between the two velocities in a traveling wave?
In a traveling wave, the relationship between the two velocities is that the wave velocity is equal to the product of the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.
What is the difference between a standing wave and a traveling wave?
A standing wave is a wave that appears to be stationary and does not move through a medium, while a traveling wave is a wave that moves through a medium from one point to another.
What is an s-wave involving earthquakes?
slowest,causes the ground to twist and bend.
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
Which type of wave is described as a wave that is not confined to the space along the medium?
Traveling wave
A wave in which the particles of a medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling?
Transverse wave
Which type of wave is described as a wave that is not confined to the spaces along the medium?
Traveling wave
Where would a wave be located if there was no energy traveling through it?
A wave would be located at its starting point if there was no energy traveling through it.
