What else can I help you with?
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.
Water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to?
gravity pulling it back towards the ocean as the wave recedes.
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 is a wave that moves back and forth at right angles are called what?
A wave that moves back and forth at right angles is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and water waves.
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most of the wave energy is?
Most of the wave energy is reflected back into the denser medium when a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium.
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.
Wave in which particles in the medium vibrate back and fourth along the path the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
What is the fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth?
The fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth is the P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected during an earthquake. They move by causing particles in the material they travel through to vibrate in the same direction as the wave's propagation.

Most of the wave energy is reflected back into the denser medium when a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium.
What is the difference between a sound wave that is transverse and one that is longitudinal?
A transverse sound wave moves up and down or side to side, while a longitudinal sound wave moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
How does a wave carry energy?
when it moves the water to the surface and has potential to come back
When a wave moves what happens to the medium?
When a wave moves through a medium, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's travel. The energy of the wave is transferred through the medium without causing a net movement of the medium itself.
Why doesn't a duck move when a wave passes under it?
That's because the water doesn't move, either. The water moves back and forth slightly, as a result of the wave; the wave energy moves on, WITHOUT taking the water with it. The wave is not a current.
What kind of wave moves in the same direction matter moves?
Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.
