In a wave passing through a medium, particles undergo oscillatory motion that is similar to the motion of a mass on a spring. As the wave travels, particles move back and forth around their equilibrium positions due to the wave's energy transferring through the medium. This oscillatory motion is characteristic of how energy is propagated in wave phenomena.
In a transverse wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. As the wave passes through the medium, particles oscillate up and down or side to side in a wave-like motion. This motion transfers energy through the medium without causing the particles to permanently move in the direction of the wave.
No, individual particles of a medium do not move along with a wave. Instead, they oscillate back and forth in a motion perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This motion of particles helps to transfer the energy of the wave through the medium.
In a wave, energy is transferred through the medium by the particles vibrating back and forth in place, while the wave itself moves forward. The particles themselves do not move forward with the wave but rather oscillate about their equilibrium positions as the wave passes through.
The media motion of a surface wave consists of particles in the medium moving in a circular or elliptical motion. As the wave passes through a medium boundary, the motion of the particles is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motion. This unique motion causes the surface wave to travel along the boundary of the two mediums.
Sound waves propagate through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave's travel. Transverse waves are distinguished by the fact that the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel, creating a side-to-side motion.

A sound transverse wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. It propagates through a medium by causing the particles of the medium to vibrate back and forth in a transverse motion, transferring energy from one particle to the next.
Transverse waves have motion of the particles perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling. This means that the particles move up and down, side to side, or in a circular motion as the wave passes through the medium.
Waves occur when energy is transferred through a medium by vibrating particles. The motion of the individual particles in the medium is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself is traveling. This type of wave is called a transverse wave.
Brownian motion. This is random motion of micro particles resultimg from collisions between the particle in question and other particles in the surrounding medium.
True. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. This results in a side-to-side motion of the particles as the wave passes through the medium.
Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.
compression and rarefaction, where the particles of the medium are either closely packed together or spread out, respectively. This causes the wave to travel through the medium in a back-and-forth motion.
