When a wave vibrates, it causes particles in the medium through which it is traveling to oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation. This movement transfers energy from one point to another without permanently displacing the particles. The frequency of the vibration determines the pitch of the wave, while the amplitude determines the wave's intensity.
A transverse wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
A tuning fork creates a sound wave when it vibrates.
The type of wave that moves through matter and vibrates your eardrums is called a sound wave.
A wave where the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
A longitudinal wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.

Transverse Wave
When matter vibrates it sends out a sound wave.
The amplitude of a wave is the characteristic that describes the greatest distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. It represents the intensity or strength of the wave.
An electric change vibrates and a magnetic field vibrates in response.
The greatest distance a wave vibrates from a resting position is known as the amplitude of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of particles in the medium from their equilibrium position as the wave passes through.
false, they vibrate parallel
The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
