What is the motion of the particles in this kind of wave?

A hand holds the left end of a set of waves. The waves themselves make a larger set of waves in the same direction as that of the smaller waves. A label Wave motion is above the series of waves and an arrow next to the label points right.


The particles will move up and down over large areas.

The particles will move up and down over small areas.

The particles will move side to side over small areas.

The particles will move up and down over small areas.

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of the wave that has been discussed in the question is the transverse kind of wave. The transverse kind of wave are the waves where the particle motion is the perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

In the transverse kind of wave the which is a moving kind of a wave where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the wave.
