Question
The picture below shows the particles moving ____ to the direction of propagation of the wave.
- Parallel
- Coincident
- Perpendicular
- At 60-degree angle
Hint:
Transverse waves travel in perpendicular direction
The correct answer is: Perpendicular
- Transverse waves cause the particles of the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
- Longitudinal waves cause the particles of the medium to move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation.
