What is orthogonal?
It means "at right angles".
Are p angles right angles from each other?
p orbitals are at right angles to each other, there are three.
A wave in which particles move back and forth at right angles to the direction of travel is called what?
a wave in which matter is moved back and forth in the direction the wave is moving
What is the effect of a magnetic field on a stationary electric field?
The magnetic field will have no effect on a stationary electric charge. ( this means that the magnetic field is also stationary. ) If the charge is moving , relative to the magnetic field then there might be an effect, but the size and direction of the effect will depend on the direction of the electric charge as it moves through the field. If the charge is moving parallel to the field there will be no effect on it. If the charge is moving at right angles to the field then it will experience a force that is mutually orthogonal to the field and direction of the motion. You really need diagrams to properly explain this
What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?
A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.

Transverse waves vibrate to the direction it travels?
perpendicular to or at right angles to their direction of motion
Cutting a muscle at right angles to the fiber direction?
Transect
What is the orthonormal to a vector?
The orthonormal is a direction at right angles to the vector.
What wave in which matter moves at right angles to the direction of the waves?
transverse
What are the waves in which matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Electromagnetic waves.
What wave matter moves right angles to the direction wave travels?
Transverse
What is dimention in physics?
A direction. To be unique it must be at right angles to your other directions.
Can a pentagon have three right angles and if not or if so explain why?
Yes it can. Imagine a square with the corner cut off. The remaining shape is a pentagon with three right angles.
S waves?
seismic waves thta shakes particles at right angles to the dircetion that they travel
Is it true there are no naturally occurring right angles in nature?
No. A wave oscillates at right angles to its direction of propagation and there are plenty of waves in nature: electromagnetic, sonic, in water etc.
What wave is a wave in which matter move at right angles to the direction of the wave?
transverse wave
