What is the direction of the electromagnetic wave particle?

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. That means the electric and magnetic fields change (oscillate) in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Also note that electric and magnetic fields in an EM wave are also perpendicular to each other.

How do electrons and waves move?

Because an electron is a quantum object with wave-like properties, it must always be vibrating at some frequency. Furthermore, an electron in a stable atomic state does not move in the sense of waving through space. The orbital electron does move in the sense of vibrating in time.

In what direction does the medium move relative to the direction of the wave?

In a transverse wave, particles of the medium vibrate up and down perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave.

How electromagnetic wave is produced?

Description: Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field comes in contact with a magnetic field. They are hence known as ‘electromagnetic’ waves. The electric field and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular (at right angles) to each other.

Do electrons produce electromagnetic waves?

Charged particles—such as electrons and protons—create electromagnetic fields when they move, and these fields transport the type of energy we call electromagnetic radiation, or light.

What direction do longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium?

parallel to
Longitudinal waves are waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.

In which direction are the particles of the medium vibrating?

In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate to and from in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport.

What direction do longitudinal waves move?

How do particles move in longitudinal waves?

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves. As a sound wave moves from the lips of a speaker to the ear of a listener, particles of air vibrate back and forth in the same direction and the opposite direction of energy transport.
