Is sound waves longitude or latitude?
Sound waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions of particles in a medium, which travel in a longitudinal direction. Longitudinal waves involve the movement of particles parallel to the direction of wave propagation, unlike transverse waves where particles move perpendicular to the wave direction.
When particles travel from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration it is called what?
Diffusion
Which Seismic wave squeezes and pulls rocks in the same direction occurs deep inside the earth?
The seismic wave that squeezes and pulls rocks in the same direction is called a P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are longitudinal waves that travel through the Earth, moving particles in the same direction as the wave itself. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials, making them crucial for understanding the Earth's interior.
What are the particles called that bring heat and light from the center of the sun to earth?
The particles that bring heat and light from the center of the sun to Earth are called photons. Photons are electromagnetic particles that carry energy and travel through space as part of sunlight.
Charged particles from the sun that travel through space at high speeds are called?
Solar flares
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
How do the particles of energy in a longitudinal wave move?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles do not move with the wave. The particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. This creates a wave. longitudinal pressure waves are also known as sound waves.
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
the answer to this question is transverse wave
Are waves in a rope called transverse waves because the segments of the rope vibrate in the direction in which the waves travel?
No. "Transverse" means that the vibration is at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances.
How does transverse waves move?
When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
Do rarefactions and compressions travel in the same direction?
Yes, rarefactions and compressions travel in the same direction in a longitudinal wave. A rarefaction is when particles are spaced further apart, and a compression is when particles are closer together, moving in the same direction through the medium.
What matter moves at right angels to direction wave travels?
In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave's travel. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.
What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.
In a transverse wave in what direction are the vibration relative to the direction of wave travel?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
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.
What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?
Transverse waves. In these waves, particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, causing energy to be transferred at right angles to the wave motion. Examples include electromagnetic waves and ripples on water.
What wave moves the same direction as it travels?
Longitudinal waves move in the same direction as they travel. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transport. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves in air and seismic waves in the Earth.
