How do particles move when a transverse wave passes through a medium?
A. Up to a crest, then down through a trough, then back
B. Through a compression followed by a rarefaction
C. In wavelengths and amplitudes
OD. Along circular or elliptical paths

Answer 1

Answer:Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a transverse wave, particles of the medium vibrate up and down perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave.
