Question

The crest of a water wave moves _________ to the direction the wave energy moves. Parallel perpendicular

Answer 1

Answer;

Perpendicular

Explanation;

• The crest of a water wave moves perpendicular to the direction the wave energy moves.
• A transverse wave is a wave in which particles move up and down or side-to-side at right angles or perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
• Examples of these waves are: vibrations in strings, ripples on water surface and electromagnetic waves. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
