The angle of a transverse wave is the angle at which the wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction of travel. It represents the up-and-down motion of the wave as it propagates through the medium. The angle remains constant as the wave moves forward.

What a definition of a tranverse wave?

Transverse Wave is a wave that oscillates perpendicular to the axis along which the wave travel or a transverse wave is a wave in which vibrating element moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the wave.Example: The Waves in bodies of water are also transverse waves.


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

tranverse


What is an example of a tranverse wave?

An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string when it is plucked or shaken. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular (sideways) to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes crests and troughs to form as the wave travels along the medium.


What is the difference between a longitude wave and traverse wave?

Longitudinal waves move in the same direction as the wave energy, vibrating parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves. Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of wave energy, vibrating at right angles to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves.


In what type of waves do particles in the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves are traveling?

Transverse waves have particles in the medium vibrating perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.


What is longigtudinal wave and tranverse wave?

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, like compressions and rarefactions in a spring. A transverse wave is a wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation, like the motion of a string being plucked.


When a longitudinal wave is combined with a tranverse wave the result is?

An earthquake.


What kind of wave forms when the vibrating particles move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is going?

Transverse waves.


When light is reflected does the direction of the light wave change?

Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.


Is a Mexican wave a transverse wave or compression wave?

It is a tranverse wave. hope this helps


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

What types of waves whose vibrating particles moves parallel to the direction of wave?

Longitudinal waves have vibrating particles that move parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves traveling through air are an example of longitudinal waves.
