In which type of waves to the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.
What do particles vibrate to the direction of the wave motion in a compressional wave?
In a compressional wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave motion. The particles move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling, causing compressions and rarefactions as the wave passes through the medium.
How do the particles of a transverse wave vibrate?
In a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means the particles oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave moves forward. The motion of the particles is characterized by crests and troughs that correspond to the peaks and valleys of the wave.
What direction does the particles vibrate in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means the particle motion is side to side or up and down while the wave itself moves forward.
do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
In which type of waves to the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?
Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.

The motion of the particles is characterized by crests and troughs that correspond to the peaks and valleys of the wave.
What is the wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels called?
Longitudinal wave. (as opposed to Transverse waves, where the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of movement.)
What direction does the particles vibrate in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means the particle motion is side to side or up and down while the wave itself moves forward.
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels?
a compressional wave
do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Which causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the waves motion?
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave's motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves, as they propagate through air by causing the air particles to compress and rarefy in the direction of the wave.
What causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the waves motion?
The medium vibrates in a direction parallel to the wave's motion due to the oscillation of particles along the same axis as the wave propagation. This type of wave motion is known as a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?
The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.
Which causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion?
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic 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.
