In a surface wave, the particles of the medium move in elliptical orbits. This means that the particles move both vertically and horizontally in the direction the wave is propagating. The motion is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Surface waves are where particles of the medium move both parallel and perpendicular to wave motion. This movement creates a circular motion pattern. An example of a surface wave is water waves on the surface of a pond.
In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium oscillate in the same direction that the wave is traveling. The particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave.
In a transverse wave, particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means that the particles oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through the medium.
Longitudinal waves: particles move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Transverse waves: particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Surface waves: particles move in circular or elliptical orbits at the surface of a medium.
Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.

In a compression wave, particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. These particles oscillate back and forth around their equilibrium position as the wave passes through them.
Yes, when the particles of a medium move a great distance as the wave passes, the wave typically has a large amplitude. Amplitude is a measure of how far the particles of the medium move from their rest position as the wave passes through.
In a transverse wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. As the wave passes through the medium, particles oscillate up and down or side to side in a wave-like motion. This motion transfers energy through the medium without causing the particles to permanently move in the direction of the wave.
Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling, not parallel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the wave is traveling.
Particles in a surface wave move in an elliptical path, with a combination of vertical and horizontal motion depending on the wave's characteristics. As the wave passes through the medium, particles are both pushed and pulled by the wave's energy, causing them to move in circular or elliptical patterns.
When a wave passes through a medium, the particles in the medium are pushed or pulled by the neighboring particles, causing them to move in the same direction as the wave. This movement is due to the energy transferred through the medium by the wave, leading to a series of compressions and rarefactions that propagate through the medium.
The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.
