Answer;

The transfer of energy is perpendicular to wave motion.

Explanation;

  • Waves refers to the transmission of a disturbance from one point to another. Waves may be classified as longitudinal or transverse based on the transfer of energy or the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
  • Transverse waves are types of waves in which the transfer of energy or the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
  • Longitudinal waves on the other hand are the waves whose transfer of energy or vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
