Question

Which of the following are properties of mechanical waves? (pick more than 1)

A. Waves require a medium or material, to move through
B. Energy is transferred with the motion of the wave.
C. Waves begin at a source with a disturbance.
D. Particles of a medium always move perpendicular to the wave motion. ​

Answer 1

I'd say ALL OF THE ABOVE.

A Mechanical wave is a disturbance that transfers energy as it moves through a medium without displacement of the medium itself.

It can Either be Transversal or Longitudinal.

It is Transversal when the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave motion.

It requires a medium and begin at a source with a disturbance

So

ALL THE OPTIONS SEEM LEGIT.
