What is the difference of compressional waves and transverse waves?
Th angle of vibration is 90 degrees different..
What is a type of a mechanical wave whose direction of vibration is perpendicular to its direction of travel?
Transverse Wave
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
In a transverse wave in what direction are the vibration relative to the direction of wave travel?
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.
Describe two major differences between transverse and longitudinal waves give a practical example of each?
In a transverse wave, the direction of the propagation of the wave is perpendicular tothe direction of the vibration of the source whereas in a longitudinal wave, they both are parallel to each other. A longitudinal wave requires a medium to propagate but a transverse wave requires no medium to travel. Sound is a longitudinal wave and all EM radiation are transverse waves.
What is the difference transverse waves and longitudinal?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
What is difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
State the laws of transverse vibration of a stretched streak?
cos omco
What type of particle vibration occurs in transverse wave?
oscillatory motion
How would you describe vibration?
mainly two types of Vibration measurement: shaft vibration Bearing Vibration

What is a type of a mechanical wave whose direction of vibration is perpendicular to its direction of travel?
Transverse Wave
What has the author Demeter George Fertis written?
Demeter George Fertis has written: 'Transverse vibration theory'
Are waves in a rope called transverse waves because the segments of the rope vibrate in the direction in which the waves travel?
No. "Transverse" means that the vibration is at right angles to the direction in which the wave advances.
Does a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica have an inverted engine?
If you mean transverse or sideways, yes.If you mean transverse or sideways, yes.
A transverse line. Does transverse mean the same thing as perpendicular?
no
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
