What else can I help you with?
What is it called when oscillations vibrate parallel to the direction that a wave travels?
This is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particle oscillations are in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves.
Why waves in a rope are called transverse wave?
Waves in a rope are called transverse waves because the particles of the medium (the rope) move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the oscillations of the rope are side-to-side or up-and-down, creating a wave that appears to move horizontally along the rope.
When measuring the angle if incidence and the angle of refraction the imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence is called the what?
The imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence is called the normal. It serves as a reference for measuring the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction in the study of optics, particularly when light travels through different mediums and changes direction.
What wave moves at right angles to its direction of travel?
Transverse wave.
What is the perpendicular force exerted by a surface pressing against an object called?
The perpendicular force exerted by a surface pressing against an object is called normal force. This force is perpendicular to the surface and acts in the opposite direction to the force applied by the object.
What is it called when oscillations vibrate parallel to the direction that a wave travels?
This is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particle oscillations are in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of a longitudinal wave is sound waves.
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.)
Why waves in a rope are called transverse wave?
Waves in a rope are called transverse waves because the particles of the medium (the rope) move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the oscillations of the rope are side-to-side or up-and-down, creating a wave that appears to move horizontally along the rope.
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.
When measuring the angle if incidence and the angle of refraction the imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence is called the what?
The imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence is called the normal. It serves as a reference for measuring the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction in the study of optics, particularly when light travels through different mediums and changes direction.

The perpendicular force exerted by a surface pressing against an object is called normal force. This force is perpendicular to the surface and acts in the opposite direction to the force applied by the object.
Describes lines that meet at right angles as in a transverse wave?
Lines that meet at right angles in a transverse wave are called perpendicular. In a transverse wave, the direction of propagation of the wave is at a right angle to the direction of oscillation of the wave particles. This pattern creates crests and troughs perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
What is it called when electromagnetic energy travels from air to water?
If you mean the change of direction, that's called refraction.
What is radial direction?
the direction of OP is call radial direction of the moving point p while the direction of OQ which is perpendicular to OP in the sense of (theta)angle is called transverse direction of the moving point P.
What is the high points in a transverse wave are called?
The high points in a transverse wave are called crests. These are the points where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum in the upward direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?
In a transverse wave, matter in the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles of the medium move side to side or up and down as the wave passes through.
