What substance which a wave move through is called?
The substance through which a wave moves is called a medium. This can be a solid, liquid, gas, or even a vacuum. Waves transfer energy through the medium without actually displacing the particles of the medium.
What is it called when a wave changes direction as it passes from one substance to another at an angle?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in speed of the wave as it moves from one medium to another, causing the wave to bend.
What part of a wave moves forward?
The energy of a wave moves forward, causing the disturbance in the medium to propagate. This can be seen as the wave pattern moving through space.
Is a hand wave transverse or longitudnal?
A hand wave is a transverse wave because the motion of the wave is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. In a hand wave, the hand moves up and down while the wave moves horizontally.
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.

What kind of wave moves in the same direction matter moves?
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.
What is it called when a wave changes direction as it passes from one substance to another at an angle?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in speed of the wave as it moves from one medium to another, causing the wave to bend.
What moves forward in waves?
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
What part of a wave moves forward?
The energy of a wave moves forward, causing the disturbance in the medium to propagate. This can be seen as the wave pattern moving through space.
What it called when a wave passes through a substance?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
Compression wave
Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
Is a hand wave transverse or longitudnal?
A hand wave is a transverse wave because the motion of the wave is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. In a hand wave, the hand moves up and down while the wave moves horizontally.
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.
Is water a mechanical wave or an electromagnetic wave?
Water is not a wave but a substance!
