Why does an ocean bouy bob up and down as a wave passes by?
An ocean buoy bobs up and down as a wave passes by because the wave causes the water particles to move in circular orbits. The buoy reacts to these circular motions by moving up and down as the wave passes underneath it.
What type of wave is created when shaking a rope up and down?
The type of wave created when shaking a rope up and down is a transverse wave. This means that the wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the rope is moving.
Is the motion of a wave forwards or up and down?
The motion of a wave involves both forward propagation and up-and-down oscillation. As a wave travels through a medium, it carries energy forward but individual particles in the medium move in a cyclical pattern, moving up and down (or side to side) as the wave passes through.
What are wave called when moving up and down?
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In transverse waves, the wave energy travels perpendicular to the direction of the particle displacement. Examples include light waves and water waves.
What direction does a transverse wave move?
A transverse wave moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave's oscillations. This means that the wave moves in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion, as opposed to moving in the same direction as the oscillations.

What type of wave is created when shaking a rope up and down?
The type of wave created when shaking a rope up and down is a transverse wave. This means that the wave travels perpendicular to the direction in which the rope is moving.
If a transverse wave is moving from right to left the individual particles in the medium are moving?
No. the individual particles are not moving in the right to left direction. rather, they moves up and down. it is the wave that is going right to left.

Parts of water that don't move along with a wave?
Water does not move with a wave believe it or not. It moves up and down with the wave but a wave is just energy moving through something.
The hertz is used to measure the frequency of sound if something is rated at 150 hertz what does that mean?
That means that whatever that wave is, whether it be a radio or television wave, is moving up and down 150 times per second.
What transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y-zplane.
What are wave called when moving up and down?
Waves that move up and down are called transverse waves. In transverse waves, the wave energy travels perpendicular to the direction of the particle displacement. Examples include light waves and water waves.
What direction does a transverse wave move?
A transverse wave moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave's oscillations. This means that the wave moves in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion, as opposed to moving in the same direction as the oscillations.
What causes an ocean wave to slow down?
because the water gets deeper. so the swells in the ocean are more frequent but smaller since theres more water
What is the direct measure of energy from mechanical wave?
Amplitude is the direct measure of energy from a mechanical wave.=Waves are produced by something (a medium) vibrating. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates, the larger the amplitude of the resulting wave. For example, you can increase the amplitude of a wave on a rope by moving your hand up and down a greater distance. To do this you have to use more energy. The energy is transfered to the rope. The greater amplitude is a direct measure of the increased energy.=
The particles in a wave are moving up and down in comparison to the ground. Which best describes the wave producing this motion?
This describes a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples include light and water waves.
