In a stadium fans stand up and sit down to produce a wave across the stadium. This type of wave where the material travels perpendicular to the direction of travel of the the wave. Which type of wave?
The wave produced by fans in a stadium is a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the motion of the medium (the standing and sitting fans) is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. This causes the wave to appear as a "crest and trough" pattern moving across the stadium.
Sometimes people at sporting events do the wave is this an example of a real wave?
No, the wave at sporting events is not an example of a real wave in nature. The wave at sporting events involves fans standing up and sitting down in sequence, creating a visual effect that travels around the stadium.
Describe how the fans in a stadium must move in order to produce a longitudinal stadium wave?
the fans must sway side to side or they must stand up and sit down to create a longitudinal wave
Why is a Mexican wave transverse?
A Mexican wave is considered a transverse wave because the motion of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. In a Mexican wave, the spectators stand and raise their arms in sequence, creating a wave-like effect that moves around the stadium horizontally.
Why is Mexican wave transverse?
The people move up and down whereas the wave travels around the stadium or arena - at right angles to the people'm movement.
What happens to wave near shore?
The sand washes back straight down the beach
When a wave slows down what property of the wave is affected?
When a wave slows down, the frequency of the wave remains constant, but the wavelength decreases. This is known as the phenomenon of wave refraction, which happens when a wave encounters a change in the medium through which it is traveling, causing it to slow down.
What happens What happens to P wave when it reaches the outer core?
When a P-wave reaches the outer core, it undergoes refraction due to the change in density of the material. This causes the wave to slow down and bend as it travels through the outer core.

What happens when a wire moves up and down repeatedly?
When a wire moves up and down repeatedly, it generates an electromagnetic wave. This wave carries energy along the wire and through the surrounding space. The frequency at which the wire moves up and down will determine the frequency of the electromagnetic wave produced.
If a wave's wave length increases what happens to its frequency?
If a wave's wavelength increases, its frequency decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other in a wave.
What happens when a wave moves through the water?
When a wave moves through water, the water particles move in a circular motion within the wave. As the wave passes, the water particles oscillate up and down, transferring energy but not water along with the wave's direction.
