during the propagation of traverse wave the molecules of medium vibrate up and down from mean position in the form of crest and trough.Example:wave in spring,wave in water
Water is the typical example given, but the water wave is a compressive wave at a boundary -- sort of a half transverse wave. Light is the physic's transverse wave. It too should be looked at suspiciously.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.
For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?
For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
What is a sound transverse wave and how does it propagate through a medium?
A sound transverse wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. It propagates through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate back and forth in a transverse motion, transferring energy from one particle to the next.
A transverse wave is traveling from right to left. What direction does the medium vibrate?
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In this case, the particles of the medium will vibrate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
For which type of wave does the medium vibrate perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
transverse
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?
The molecules vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation or motion.

For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a wave?
false, they vibrate parallel
In a transverse wave that travels through a medium how do the molecules of the medium vibrate?
The quaggas of the wave, which are the midpoints, start to spasm out of control.
In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?
Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
What is wave in which particles in the medium vibrate in an up an and down motion?
transverse waves

A transverse wave is traveling from right to left. What direction does the medium vibrate?
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In this case, the particles of the medium will vibrate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
In a longitudinal wave the particles of matter in the medium vibrate by pushing together and moving apart. In a transverse wave on the other hand the particles of matter in the medium vibrate by movin?
In a transverse wave, the particles of matter in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, which means they move up and down or side to side. This is unlike in a longitudinal wave where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, moving back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
In a transverse wave the medium vibrates?
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes the wave to move in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and ocean waves.
