What is a wave that oscillates upand down?
A wave that oscillates up and down is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string.
Name an example of a transverse wave?
An example of a transverse wave is a water wave. As the wave travels horizontally, the particles of water move up and down perpendicularly to the wave's direction of travel.
Describe two major differences between transverse and longitudinal waves give a practical example of each?
In a transverse wave, the direction of the propagation of the wave is perpendicular tothe direction of the vibration of the source whereas in a longitudinal wave, they both are parallel to each other. A longitudinal wave requires a medium to propagate but a transverse wave requires no medium to travel. Sound is a longitudinal wave and all EM radiation are transverse waves.
Give one example of transverse waves?
Radio waves and Light. Audio waves are not considered transverse. Since pressure is a constant, it eliminates a vector, thus making it a longitudinal wave.
How is a microwave an example of a transverse wave?
A microwave is an electromagnetic wave, which is a form of transverse wave. In transverse waves, the vibration or oscillation of the wave occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a microwave oven, the transverse microwave radiation heats and cooks food by causing water molecules to vibrate at high frequencies.
Is a transverse wave a electromagentic wave?
No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.No, the other way round: An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.There are other kinds of transverse waves, for example, the waves on a water surface.

Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?
An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves, where the disturbance of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. An example of a transverse wave is light waves, where the disturbance of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Light wave are an example of transverse waves?
yes it is
What transverse wave means?
The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)

Wave in witch matter moves at a right angle to the direction of the wave?
Transverse wave. In this type of wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Classical example of transverse wave is electromagnetic wave.
Name a real life example of a transverse wave?
Transverse wave vibrations are at 90 degrees to the direction of wave ravelexamples are:radiomicrowavesinfra -red raysgamma raysx- raysultra violet
What surge in a crowd is an example of what kind of wave?
A surge in a crowd is an example of a transverse wave, where the motion of the individuals is perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself.
