This type of wave is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, creating crests and troughs as the wave moves through the medium. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
Longitudinal Wave - Oscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.
In a sound wave, the air particles oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation.
This describes a mechanical wave, where matter oscillates in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of this is a water wave as the water moves up and down in the direction of the wave.
In a longitudinal wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This means that the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave.
Longitudinal waves move in a direction parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles in the medium through which the wave is propagating. This means that the particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
what current goes back and forth, or oscillates, rather than traveling in only one direction
Longitudinal Wave - Oscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.
In a sound wave, the air particles oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation.
This describes a mechanical wave, where matter oscillates in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of this is a water wave as the water moves up and down in the direction of the wave.

In a longitudinal wave, particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This means that the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of the wave.
Longitudinal waves move in a direction parallel to the direction of vibration of the particles in the medium through which the wave is propagating. This means that the particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
A compressional or longitudinal wave, also known as a P-wave, causes particles in rocks to move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. This type of wave involves particles moving in a push-pull motion parallel to the direction of energy propagation.
Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium in the same direction in which the waves are traveling. This produces a back-and-forth motion of the particles parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
You cannot back down a one way street in GA. If you did that, you would be traveling in the wrong direction on a one way street.
A mechanical wave, just like sound
Waves can move in any direction - back and forth, up and down, or side to side. The direction of wave motion depends on the type of wave and the medium it is traveling through.
