That sounds like the description of a transverse wave.

How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave with twice the force of the energy provided at right angles to the direction the wave travels parallel to the direction the wave travels with half the?

If the medium vibrates in a transverse wave with twice the force at right angles to the direction the wave travels, it means the amplitude of the wave is doubled in that direction. If the wave also travels parallel to the direction it moves with half the energy, it means that the wave carries less energy forward because some of the energy is directed towards vibrating the medium at right angles.


What matter moves at right angels to direction wave travels?

In a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave's travel. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.


What causes particles in matter to move back and forth at right angles to the directtion in which the wave travels?

Particles in matter move back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave due to the transverse nature of the wave. This motion is perpendicular to the wave direction and is characteristic of electromagnetic waves such as light. The vibration of particles allows the wave energy to propagate through the material in a transverse direction.


What wave in which the particles of the medium move at right angles to direction in which the wave travels is called a?

A transverse wave.


What wave matter moves right angles to the direction wave travels?

Transverse waves move in a direction perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the wave itself. This means that the particles in the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves.
