What else can I help you with?
Are surface waves transverse or longitudal?
If waves are produced on the surface of water then such a wave is transverse in nature. If we deal with surface waves of radio propagation then those electromagnetic waves too are transverse in nature.
How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave?
during the propagation of traverse wave the molecules of medium vibrate up and down from mean position in the form of crest and trough.Example:wave in spring,wave in waterWater is the typical example given, but the water wave is a compressive wave at a boundary -- sort of a half transverse wave. Light is the physic's transverse wave. It too should be looked at suspiciously.
Are transverse and congressional waves the two types of mechanical waves?
mechanical waves can be both transverse and longitudinal, but all electromagnetic waves are transverse.
Why do waves crash?
Waves crash when the energy in the wave becomes too concentrated as it approaches the shore. This causes the top of the wave to move faster than the bottom, resulting in the wave breaking. The forceful impact of the crashing wave is what we see and hear as it hits the shore.
At what waves can humans NOT hear?
Humans cannot hear ultrasonic (above 20,000 Hz) and infrasonic (below 20 Hz) waves. Ultrasonic waves are too high in frequency for the human ear to detect, while infrasonic waves are too low.
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.

What is a wave transfer?
It is not "transfer". it has to be " Transverse" wave. When the particles of the medium does vibrations simple harmonically perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave then it is said to be transverse wave. Even electromagnetic wave too is a transverse wave as its electric and magnetic omponents are normal to the direction of propagation.
When waves hit you whch way do you move?
you dont move beause all waves are too light or they are all coming at different directions
Are transverse and congressional waves the two types of mechanical waves?
mechanical waves can be both transverse and longitudinal, but all electromagnetic waves are transverse.
What are waves with low frequency?
What kind of waves? Water waves? Sound waves? Low frequency water waves move the boat up and down slower. Lower frequency sond waves make a lower town, but if its too low the human ear can't hear it. Or maybe you are talking about Electric and Magnetism? You should give more info in the question. It is too general.
What wave are longitudinal?
Here is a description of longitudinal waves and transverse waves and how they are the same and different. Examples are provided. In one sentence, a longitudinal wave is any wave where the quantity that is oscillating is along the direction of propagation of the wave. There is no variation which is associated with any particular direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation. With even greater brevity, a transverse wave is one which exhibits the oscillations to be occurring in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion. We speak of these two types of waves, longitudinal and transverse, because almost all waves that we encounter can be categorized as one or the other. (Not all, but almost all waves are one or the other.) Both types of waves have all the usual characteristics of amplitude, frequency, wavelength and velocity, all related in the usual ways. The difference lies in the direction associated with the direction associated with the varying amplitude of oscillation. The usual examples of transverse waves, the vibrations of a string or the waves on water, are easy to visualize as one can see the "up and down" motion of the vibrating medium. Light is also a transverse wave and that can not simple be seen. The sound wave generated by a vibrating string is a longitudinal wave, as are all sound waves. The quantity that is oscillating in a sound wave is the pressure. For a pure tone, the sound wave is a series of peaks and troughs of pressure extending along the line that is the direction the wave is traveling. The pressure does not have a direction and the increases and decreases in pressure are associated with no direction perpendicular to propagation. That is enough to make it a longitudinal wave, i.e. it is enough that it is not a transverse wave. The usual argument that a sound wave is a longitudinal wave utilizes the direction of motion of the air caused by the wave. At any particular point in space, as the wave move past, there is motion of each region of air as it moves sinusoidal forward and backward along the direction of motion. Oscillating movement along the direction of motion certainly meets the criteria necessary to be longitudinal. In another example, a wave is traveling along a spring where the wave pattern is produced by the coils of the spring moving closer together and further apart and those motions traveling along the spring in a regular sinusoidal pattern. This is directly analogous to the properties of a sound wave and it is, therefore, an example of a longitudinal wave. One could imagine a rope of lights where the colors at each point varied continuously and sinusoidal as the oscillating pattern move along a wire. This color wave also has no direction associated with the oscillating character, so it too would be longitudinal. End note 1. Technically, not all waves propagate and some waves are standing waves. Standing waves are, however, a special case which occurs when two waves are combined, in which case the two waves will separately have a well defined direction and therefore allow the classification of them as longitudinal or transverse. In what follows, it will be assumed we are discussing propagating waves.) End note 2. A wave is an oscillating process that moves through space. Normally a wave travels through a medium, though light is a wave that does not require a medium. While waves can have complex shapes, we have found that nearly all wave processes can be represented as being built up of plane waves, i.e. waves which vary in a sinusoidal manner and move only in one direction. End note 3. There are the kinds of waves, torsional waves is one example. Also, in solids, elastic waves do not have to be compression wave, they can also be shear waves.
Do mechanical waves travel faster through liquids than through solids?
The definition of a mechanical wave is a wave that is able to be transmitted into solids, liquids, and gases. Transverse mechanical waves are able to be transmitted into solids and liquids. An example of transverse waves are the secondary waves of an earthquake.
What are some good ways to keep a dragon in one spot?
well, dead dragons don't move too much...
Can you put transverse in a sentence?
No, you can't and I can't explain it to you because it's too hard to explain.
How do sand shark communication?
they wiggle aroound or move the sand in certain ways that can be see by the other shark that they are communicating too !!xx
