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.

In which wave does matter move forward and backwards in the same direction the wave travels?

In a longitudinal wave, matter moves forward and backward in the same direction that the wave travels. This is due to the parallel displacement of particles in the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.


When a transverse wave travels through a medium which way does matter in the medium move?

In a transverse wave, matter in the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that the particles of the medium move side to side or up and down as the wave passes through.


A wave in witch matter moves back and forth in the direction of the wave?

This describes a mechanical wave, where matter oscillates in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of this is a water wave as the water moves up and down in the direction of the wave.


What Wave does the matter move in a right angle to the direction of the wave?

Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. An example is a wave on a string where the string moves up and down while the wave travels horizontally.


What wave moves matter back and fourth in the same direction?

A longitudinal wave moves matter back and forth in the same direction that the wave is travelling. This type of wave creates compressions and rarefactions in the medium as it moves. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.
