The wave direction indicated whether the electrical impulse from the heart is going towards or away from the ECG lead that is being studied.

Why T wave is in same direction of QRS wave in ECG?

The T wave in an ECG is typically in the same direction as the QRS complex because both represent ventricular depolarization and repolarization, respectively. During the QRS complex, the ventricles depolarize, and then during the T wave, they repolarize, leading to the similar orientation of the waves.


How does longitudinal wave travel?

Longitudinal waves are waves that have the same direction of vibration along their direction of travel, which means that the vibration of the medium (particle) is in the same direction or opposite direction as the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves have been also referred to as compressional waves or compression waves


What is R-R interval in an ECG?

Matter vibrates in the same direction as these waves travel?

Longitudinal waves.


What matter vibrates in the same direction as these waves travel?

Compressional waves


What are waves where matter in the medium moves forward and backward in the same direction?

The waves where matter in the medium moves forward and backward in the same direction are called longitudinal waves. In these waves, particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.

How would you explain a bottle moving across the water in the same direction that the waves are traveling?

The bottle is likely being carried by the current or the movement of the water caused by the waves. The direction of the waves propels the bottle forward, moving it in the same direction as the waves.


What do T waves on an ECG represent?

T waves on an ECG represent the repolarization of the ventricles of the heart, indicating the relaxation phase of the heart's electrical activity.


What do T waves represent in an electrocardiogram (ECG)?

T waves in an electrocardiogram (ECG) represent the repolarization of the ventricles in the heart, indicating the recovery phase after contraction.


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.
