Longitudinal waves move by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. As the wave travels, the particles in the medium oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
Waves undulate.
No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling.
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves propagate (move) with their own energy.
No, they can be caused by standing waves, but they move

waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, move the fastest in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second.
Primary waves (P-waves) move outward from the focus of an earthquake, while secondary waves (S-waves) also move outward from the focus. Both types of waves are seismic body waves that travel through the Earth's interior.
