Question

When waves move on the surface of the water, the water molecules execute:

  1. Linear motion
  2. Oscillatory motion
  3. Circular motion
  4. None of these

hintHint:

Overall round motion.

The correct answer is: Circular motion


    • When waves move on the surface of the water, the water molecules execute - circular motion.
    • In a surface wave, particles of the medium move up and down as well as back and forth in an overall circular motion.
    • So, the correct option is c.
