What kind of wave has matter at right angles to direction wave travels?

That sounds like the description of a transverse wave.


What is true about traNSVERSE WAVE?

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves. Transverse waves can exhibit properties such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.


Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the 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.


What is a transversal wave?

A transverse wave is a wave that the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are a ripple in a pond and a wave on a string. Transverse waves may occur on a wave, throughout a solid and on the surface of a wave. Transverse waves cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.


What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?

Transverse wave.


When particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough what type of wave is formed?

A transverse wave is formed when particles move forward at the crest and backward at the trough. In a transverse wave, the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves and waves on a string.


What is the type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?

The type of wave in which the disturbance moves at right angles to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (like light) and waves on a string.


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.


In a transverse wave the medium vibrates?

In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes the wave to move in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and ocean waves.


What type of wave travels parallel to the medium?

longitudinal waves


In this type of wave particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave?
