Wave is a self-sustaining medium of disturbance which does not involve transport of matter itself.
A wave has a magnetic and electric field oscillating perpendicular to each other.
Ex. of waves water waves, sound waves, light waves etc.

What travels along a surface separating two media?
a surface wave
What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
Example of surface wave?
In geology, a seismic wave that travels along the surface of a medium and that has a stronger effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior.
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on the matter it travels through?
primary wave
Sound travels as a what?
Sound travels as a wave.
A transverse wave travels along z-axis The particles of the medium travels along?
z-axis
Why does a carbon atom become waitless when it travels along a sheet of graghene?
it travels along the sheet becaues of the wave of energy
The type of wave formed when the motion of the medium is along the same direction that the wave travels is?
A longitudinal wave
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path that the wave travels?
Longitudinal Wave
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and fourth along the path the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the path a wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.
What is a wave in which particles in the medium vibrates back and forth along the path the wave travels?
A longitudinal wave, like sound.

What is a seismic wave that travels along the earth's surface?
There are two types of wave that travel along Earth's surface and they are known broadly as surface waves. These are:Love wavesRayleigh waves
Example of surface wave?

What is material through which a wave travels?
The general term for what a wave travels through is a medium, but in the case of earthquakes the wave travels through the ground.
