If the medium vibrates in a transverse wave with twice the force at right angles to the direction the wave travels, it means the amplitude of the wave is doubled in that direction. If the wave also travels parallel to the direction it moves with half the energy, it means that the wave carries less energy forward because some of the energy is directed towards vibrating the medium at right angles.
What else can I help you with?
What type of wave travels parallel to the medium?
longitudinal waves
Is it true or false that a transverse wave causes its medium to move parallel to the direction the wave travels?
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
What direction does energy travel in a transverse wave?
Energy in a transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
What is the direction in which a transverse wave travels?
A transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the individual particle of the medium is vibrating. This means that the wave's energy is transmitted horizontally or vertically, while the particles of the medium move in a different direction.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
Sound travels in air as a longitudinal wave, where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light, on the other hand, does not require a medium like air to propagate and travels in transverse waves, with oscillations perpendicular to the direction of motion.
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.

What direction does energy travel in a transverse wave?
Energy in a transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
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 the direction in which a transverse wave travels?
A transverse wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the individual particle of the medium is vibrating. This means that the wave's energy is transmitted horizontally or vertically, while the particles of the medium move in a different direction.
What is the opposite of a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves consist particles in a medium (ex of a medium= air) vibrate back and forth in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave is traveling. Example of a longitudinal wave are sound waves. Boom! Opposite of longitudinal waves would be a transverse wave where instead of particles moving in a parallel direction, transverse waves vibrate in a medium, side by side perpendicular to the direction the wave travels to. Example of a transverse wave is a light wave. Hope this helped =]
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels in a?
Transverse Wave
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
Sound travels in air as a longitudinal wave, where the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Light, on the other hand, does not require a medium like air to propagate and travels in transverse waves, with oscillations perpendicular to the direction of motion.
What direction a transverse wave travels?
A transverse wave travels in a straight line but wavers up and down. the high point is the crest and the low point is the trough
How does sound travel as a transverse wave?
Sound travels as a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. This vibration creates areas of compression and rarefaction, which are responsible for the transmission of sound.
What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal waves have movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave. As the wave travels, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is moving. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.
