Question
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate ____ to the direction of wave propagation.
- Parallel
- Perpendicular
- At 30 degrees
- At 80 degrees
Hint:
Particles move up and down.
The correct answer is: Perpendicular
- In a transverse wave, the vibrating particles move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
- In longitudinal waves, the particle of the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.
