Question

As a wave travels through a medium, it displaces the particle perpendicular to the motion of the wave. We can conclude that this is a

a.longitudinal wave because of the direction that the wave travels.
b.transverse wave because of the direction in which the particles are displaced.
c.longitudinal wave because the wave is traveling through a medium displacing particles.
d.transverse because of the direction that the wave is traveling.

Answer 1

b- transverse wave because of the direction in which the particles are displaced

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

As a wave travels through a medium, it displaces the particles

perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

We call this a transverse wave because of the direction in which

the particles are displaced. (choice-b)
