What is the medium through which an ocean wave will travel?
An ocean wave will travel through a medium of water, with the energy of the wave causing the water particles to move in a circular orbit as the wave passes through. This movement transfers the energy of the wave across the water's surface.
What happens to each water particle as a wave passes through the ocean?
it stay at the surface
Each particle of water in an ocean wave moves in a what?
Circular motion. Each water particle in an ocean wave moves in a circular path as the energy from the wave passes through.
What is the medium through which a water wave in the ocean moves?
The water. More precisely, the water-air surface.
Why is an ocean wave a transverse wave?
An ocean wave is a transverse wave because the motion of the water particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. As the wave passes through the water, the water particles move up and down in a vertical direction, while the wave itself travels horizontally.
Describe water movement when a wave passes through it?
Water molecules move in an elliptical orbit as a wave passes through them. As the wave passes, the water molecules return to their original position, with no net movement in the direction of the wave. The energy of the wave is what propagates through the water, not the water itself.
What it called when a wave passes through a substance?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
Wave that passes through earth?
Seismic Wave. :D
When a wave is on the surface of the ocean what direction do the molecules move in?
In an ocean wave, the water molecules move in a circular motion. As the wave passes through, water molecules move in an elliptical path, with no net forward movement. The energy of the wave is what is being transferred, not the water molecules themselves.
What happens to a medium after a wave passes through it?
After a wave passes through a medium, the medium returns to its original state. The particles of the medium undergo temporary displacement or vibration as the wave passes through, but they eventually return to their original positions once the energy of the wave has passed.
Through which ocean does the equator pass?
The equator passes through the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. It does not pass through The Arctic Ocean.
Which way does the particles move in a ocean wave?
In an ocean wave, water particles move in a circular motion. As the wave passes through, water particles move in an elliptical path, with the motion decreasing in size as it gets deeper. The circular motion of water particles is what helps transport energy across the ocean surface.
