do particles vibrate in the direction of wave motion in transverse waves?

In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.


What waves particles move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave itself?

Transverse waves are those in which the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means the displacement of the particles is at right angles to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (such as light) and waves on a string.


Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?

Yes, in transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. This causes the medium to oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through it. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.


In a the particles in the material move at right angles to the direction the wave moves?

The wave is a transverse wave.


What waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave.?

Transverse waves occur when the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In these waves, the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.

What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.

What type of mechanical wave do particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave motion?

Transverse waves. In these waves, particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, causing energy to be transferred at right angles to the wave motion. Examples include electromagnetic waves and ripples on water.


A transverse wave is traveling from right to left. What direction does the medium vibrate?

The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In this case, the particles of the medium will vibrate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
