What waves have movement that is perpendicular to the direction?
Transverse waves have movement that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. This means that the particles of the medium oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave moves forward. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (such as light) and some seismic waves.
What are some characteristics of waves?
Some characteristics of waves include amplitude (height of the wave), wavelength (distance between peaks), frequency (number of waves that pass a point in a given time), and speed (how fast the wave travels). Waves can be classified as transverse or longitudinal, depending on the direction of vibration relative to the direction of wave propagation.
How does friction play apart in waves?
Friction can dampen the energy of a wave as it travels through a medium, causing the wave to lose amplitude and eventually dissipate. In some cases, friction between the wind and the water's surface can generate waves. Additionally, friction can cause waves to refract or change direction when encountering different mediums.
What are transverse waves?
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y-zplane.
Give one example of transverse waves?
Radio waves and Light. Audio waves are not considered transverse. Since pressure is a constant, it eliminates a vector, thus making it a longitudinal wave.

How can an object change it direction?
Some force is applied to the object in any direction not the same as the present direction.
Why do some ocean currents travel the direction they do?
They travel the way they do because when the wind blows it makes waves and goes to the direction the wind is blowing.
What do a modern day scientist believe about geologic change?
Some happens gradually, and some happens suddenly

What type pf waves carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow?
Transverse waves carry energy at a right angle to the direction of the energy flow. In these waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation, causing the wave to oscillate up and down or side to side. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.
What is transversal waves?
Wave is a propagation of oscillations of some physical parameter (perturbation of pressure, mass density, electrical or magnetic fields...). If oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of propagation - the wave is transverse (for example - electromagnetic wave). If physical parameter oscillates along the propagation direction - the wave is longitudinal(Sound).
Waves that move in one direction but wave in another direction?
Transverse waves move up and down or side to side, while longitudinal waves move in a forward and backward direction. In some cases, a wave can exhibit both transverse and longitudinal characteristics, such as a water wave where the water particles move in circular paths as the wave moves forward.
Why are electromagnetic waves sometimes called transverse waves?
Because the theory is that this is what the form is. If it were a longitudinal or compressional form (such as sound) it would need to travel through a medium of some sort to compress the particles of that medium. But electromagnetic radiation can travel even in a vacuum.
