What else can I help you with?
Does the direction of the electromagnetic wave propagation same as the direction of vibration of electromagnetic waves?
No, the direction of electromagnetic wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the electric and magnetic fields that make up the wave. This relationship is governed by electromagnetic wave theory and is a fundamental characteristic of how electromagnetic waves travel through space.
For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?
For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
What type of wave is caused by the back and forth movement or vibration?
A longitudinal wave is caused by the back and forth movement or vibration of particles. This type of wave involves the displacement of particles parallel to the direction of the wave itself.
What is longitudial wave?
A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as the direction of energy transfer. This means that the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
What is the difference transverse waves and longitudinal?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
What is difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
In physics longitudinal is?
Longitudinal is vibration in the direction of the wave.

What name is given to a wave where the motion of the particles is in the same direction as the wave motion?
This is known as a Longitudinal wave or Compression / Pressure wave. In seismology (the scientific study of vibration within the earth), compression waves are known as Primary waves or P-waves.
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
Is polarization a property of light waves but not sound waves?
That is correct. Polarization is possible only when the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of the wave travel, such is in light. In sound waves, the direction of vibration (compression) is the same direction as the direction of the travel of the sound wave, and therefore polarization is not possible.
What type of wave is caused by the back and forth movement or vibration?
A longitudinal wave is caused by the back and forth movement or vibration of particles. This type of wave involves the displacement of particles parallel to the direction of the wave itself.

What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it
How does longitudinal wave travel?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have the same direction of vibration along their direction of travel, which means that the vibration of the medium (particle) is in the same direction or opposite direction as the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves have been also referred to as compressional waves or compression waves
