In a longitudinal wave, matter moves forward and backward in the same direction that the wave travels. This is due to the parallel displacement of particles in the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.

When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?

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.


What are waves where matter in the medium moves forward and backward in the same direction?

The waves where matter in the medium moves forward and backward in the same direction are called longitudinal waves. In these waves, particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.


Why is sound matter?

Sound isn't matter, but it travels through matter.Sound is a mechanical wave - it is just air molecules bumping into each other, causing a chain reaction in a particular direction.


What matter moves at right angels to direction wave travels?

In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave's travel. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.


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.

If in the NFL a player tries to fumble backwards but somehow it goes forward is it an illegal forward fumble?

A fumble is a fumble, no matter what direction it goes in, but a player cannot advance the ball forward through the air once they have passed the line of scrimmage.

What is the number palindrome?

A number that is always the same forward and backwards no matter what (examples: 2662, 74247)


In a longitudinal wave the energy of the wave moves?

The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.

Does anti matter travel backwards in time?

There is no evidence to suggest that antimatter travels backwards in time. Antimatter particles behave similarly to their matter counterparts but with opposite charge. Time travel concepts are still theoretical and not directly connected to the properties of antimatter.
