A wave in which the particles travel in the same direction as the wave is called a seismic wave. It is usually generated by earthquakes.

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.


A wave whose energy travels the same way as it was transferred?

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This means that the energy travels in the same direction as it was transferred. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


What type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?

Longitudinal waves have movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave. As the wave travels, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is moving. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.

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.


A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?

Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.


What type of wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels?

A longitudinal wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.

Such a wave is called a longitudinal wave.


What is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?

Wave that has vibration in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion creating it


What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
