Match each type of wave to the way it moves. transverse wave longitudinal wave electromagnetic wave back and forth at right angles to the direction of the motion of the wave arrowRight two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other arrowRight back and forth in the direction of the motion of the wave

Answer:

Transverse wave = at right angles to the direction of the motion of the wave

they all are perpendicular to wave always

Longitudinal wave = back and forth in the direction of the motion of the wave

in longitudinal waves medium particles will move in the direction of wave and the motion is always in back and forth type

electromagnetic wave = alternating waves moving at right angles to each other

in longitudinal waves medium particles will move in the direction of wave and the motion is always in back and forth type

electromagnetic wave = alternating waves moving at right angles to each other

electromagnetic waves are combination of electric field and magnetic field which oscillates perpendicular to wave as well as they are perpendicular to each other
