Question

The particles of a medium vibrate _____ when waves propagate through it.

  1. About their equilibrium positions
  2. About their extreme positions
  3. Both a and b
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Particulate motion occurs when waves propagate through it

The correct answer is: About their equilibrium positions


    Waves travel by making particles to move in their mean positions
