What are waves that move from side to side?
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.
Can sound waves move objects?
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.
What do waves do in one word?
Waves undulate.
What types of wave move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traviling?
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.
Another word for seismic waves that characterizes the way they move?
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
What are the differences of light waves?
Longitudinally & transverse
What do the sounds waves normally cause the ear-drum to do?
To get vibrated longitudinally
What do waves move through?
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
What is the basis for the way mechanical waves are organized?
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).
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
What waves do not need matter to move?
Electromagnetic waves propagate (move) with their own energy.
Are sound waves standing waves?
No, they can be caused by standing waves, but they move
What are waves that move from side to side?
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.
What do you call a half of the earth that is cut longitudinally?
A half of the Earth that is cut longitudinally is referred to as a hemisphere.
Can sound waves move objects?
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.
