Question

Which statements apply to transverse waves? Check all that apply.

The waves have a trough.
Particles move only small distances.
The waves have a crest.
The energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
Particles travel the length of the wave, moving in an up-and-down motion.

Answer 1

A, C, D and E

Explanation:

You see all waves have the point of maximum disturbance and little disturbance known as Crest and Trough.

Hence option A and C.

However for transverse wave the vibration of particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. An example is the wave we initiate when we click a string in a guitar; the wave moves along the string why the wave was actually set up by moving the string up and down. Hence options D and E

Answer 2

I know one of them is..

A) The waves have a trough.
