Question

The picture below shows the particles moving ____ to the direction of propagation of the wave.

  1. Parallel
  2. Coincident
  3. Perpendicular
  4. At 60-degree angle

hintHint:

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.
