What else can I help you with?
When the particles ot the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
If a transverse wave is moving from right to left the individual particles in the medium are moving?
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.
What type of wave does sound travel in?
Longitudinal Wave
Does outerspace have sound?
Outerspace has no sound. This is because outerspace is essentially devoid of matter, and matter is required for sound. Sound is a physical phenomenon of a travelling pressure wave, and in space there is essentially no gas or media to transmit a wave.
Which wave makes matter move back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave travels?
It is a rarefaction.
How is the motion of particles in a sound wave different from a water wave?
In a sound wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels, while in a water wave, particles move in a circular motion.
What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?
A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.
What is it when particles move up and down with the wave?
When particles move up and down with a wave, this is known as vertical or transverse wave motion. In this type of wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. This motion creates crests and troughs in the wave pattern.
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound travels in longitudinal waves, which means that the particles of the medium move in the same direction as the wave is propagating. This is in contrast to transverse waves where the particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction.
How do particles in a sound wave move?
The move by expansion and Contraction of the medium by which they are propagated. It is transmitted in air as a longitudinal wave- which means its direction is in line with the movement of the medium.
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The sound wave will travel faster in the medium where particles of matter are further apart because there will be less resistance and the particles are more spread out, allowing the wave to propagate more easily.
What is a wave in which particles move up and down?
A wave that causes particles to move up and down is called a transverse wave. In this type of wave, the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself. Examples include light waves and water waves.
How do the particles of a transverse wave move ( parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
The particles of a transverse wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. As the wave passes through a medium, the particles move up and down or side to side in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
How does the propagation of sound in a medium differ between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in a longitudinal wave, the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave. This difference in particle movement affects how sound propagates in the medium.
What does transverse mean in sound?
In sound, transverse refers to a wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This is in contrast to longitudinal waves, where the particles move parallel to the wave's direction. Examples of transverse waves in sound include vibrations on a string or the surface of a drum.
Give an example of a logitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a light wave, where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Which way do particles in a medium move in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means that the particles oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through the medium.
