A direct wave is a radio wave that travels directly through space without getting refracted by the ionosphere. In other words, it travels straight to the receiving antenna without being refracted.

What is the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave?

In a transverse wave, the direction of wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave oscillation.


What is a longitudinal wave and what is nessasery for a wave?

A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


Is a rope wave a longitudinal wave?

No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.


Do longitudinal wave particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction?

No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.


A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?

Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.


What is the direction of oscillation of the particles of each wave?

In a transverse wave, the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.


What is direction of a waves motion called?

Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.


In what direction is the wave propagating?

The wave is propagating in the direction of its energy transfer.


In what direction is the wave traveling?

The wave is traveling in the direction indicated by its movement.


In which direction is the wave traveling?

The wave is traveling in the direction indicated by its movement.


How do the particles of a transverse wave move ( parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

The particles of a transverse wave move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. As the wave passes through a medium, the particles move up and down or side to side in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.


What wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave it self is what?

A wave that vibrates in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave itself is called a longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.
