Waves move longitudinally because the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave's propagation. This causes the wave to move in a parallel direction to the vibration of the particles.
Waves undulate.
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. As the wave travels, the particles in the medium oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling.
Longitudinally & transverse
To get vibrated longitudinally
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves propagate (move) with their own energy.
No, they can be caused by standing waves, but they move
Mechanical waves are "typed" based on the way the medium moves to propagate the energy of the wave. The wave could compress the medium longitudinally, like in the way sound moves. It could also cause the medium to move vertically, like a wave on the surface of water. And let's consider the case of a long, loose spring. Hold it at one end, stretch it a little bit, and take the other end and move it laterally (side to side).
Waves undulate.
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. As the wave travels, the particles in the medium oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
A half of the Earth that is cut longitudinally is referred to as a hemisphere.
No, sound waves cannot move objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, but they do not have the ability to physically move objects.
