The medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side, while the wave itself moves forward. In a longitudinal wave, the particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave propagation.
In a longitudinal wave, particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation. As the wave travels, particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is moving. This motion causes compressions and rarefactions to propagate through the 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 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.
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.
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.
Perpendicular 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.
Transverse wave
longitudinal
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in a longitudinal wave, the particles move parallel to the direction of the wave. This difference in particle movement affects how sound propagates in the medium.
The particles of a transverse wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. As the wave passes through a medium, the particles move up and down or side to side in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
In a compression wave, the medium is displaced in the same direction that the wave is travelling. This means that the particles of the medium move closer together and then farther apart as the wave passes through.
In a transverse wave, matter in the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles of the medium move side to side or up and down as the wave passes through.
