JordanIn an electromagnetic (EM) wave, the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation. These oscillating fields create the wave's characteristic vibrations as they interact with each other and propagate through space.

What wave vibrates parallel to the wave motion?
A transverse wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
What kind of wave does a tuning fork create when it vibrates?
A tuning fork creates a sound wave when it vibrates.
What type of wave moves through matter and vibrates your eardrums?
The type of wave that moves through matter and vibrates your eardrums is called a sound wave.
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
A wave where the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
What type of wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels?
A longitudinal wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
