Type of wave appears to vibrate in place?

A standing wave.


For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?

transverse


In this type of wave particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave itself.?

tranverse


In which type of waves to the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?

Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.


What is a type of wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth alont the path that the wave travles?

traverse wave


What does a wave in which particles vibrate and move in the same direction as they travel?

That type of wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.


Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


What is light classiified as when electrical and magnetic fields vibrate in a light wave?

Light is classified as an electromagnetic wave when electrical and magnetic fields vibrate in a light wave. This type of wave does not require a medium to propagate and can travel through empty space.


Do longitudinal wave particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction?

No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.


Which type of wave do particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Transverse waves are the type of waves in which particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave's propagation. This can be seen in phenomena such as light waves, water waves, and seismic S waves.


Which direction do particles vibrate in transfer waves?

Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.


What is a wave that causes the medium to vibrate in a stationary pattern resembling a loop or series of loops?

A standing wave is a wave that appears to be standing still, causing the medium to vibrate in a stationary pattern of loops. This effect is produced by the interference of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions.
