In what direction does the medium vibrate?

The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.


Which waves causes the medium to vibrate only in a directions parallel to the wave motion?

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion.


In a transverse wave that travels through a medium the molecules of the medium vibrate in which direction?

In a transverse wave, the molecules of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means they move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.


Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?

Yes, in transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. This causes the medium to oscillate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through it. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves.


What waves particles of the medium vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the wave itself?

Transverse waves have particles of the medium that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself. This oscillation causes the disturbance to propagate along the wave. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves and waves on a string.


A transverse wave is traveling from right to left. What direction does the medium vibrate?

The medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. In this case, the particles of the medium will vibrate up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.


What waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave.?

Transverse waves occur when the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In these waves, the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of energy transport. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves.


In which type of waves to the particles in the medium vibrate in the same direction the wave is moving?

Transverse waves have particles that vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Longitudinal waves have particles that vibrate in the same direction that the wave is moving.


For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave?

For transverse waves, the vibration of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. For longitudinal waves, the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.


What causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the waves motion?

The medium vibrates in a direction parallel to the wave's motion due to the oscillation of particles along the same axis as the wave propagation. This type of wave motion is known as a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.


Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?

Longitudinal wave


In a transverse wave that travels through a mediun the molecules of the medium vibrate?

Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back. APEX :P
