A Transverse wave is one in which the medium is displaced _________ to the wave in the direction of wave propagation, such as waves ______Parallel, Along a straight linePerpendicular, On a vibrating stringDiagonal, Within a circular pathCircumferential, Through a spiral motion

A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium vibrate ________ to the direction that the wave travels. Group of answer choicesparallelperpendicularlongitudinallyunderground

What is a transverse wave?A wave in which the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of energy transferA wave in which there are no vibrationsA wave in which the vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy transferA type of wave which does not lead to the transfer of energy from one place to another2What is a longitudinal wave?A wave in which the vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy transferA wave in which the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transferA wave in which the vibrations are at 90° to the direction of energy transferA wave which has a long wavelength3Which of the following statements about longitudinal waves is incorrect?The particles in a longitudinal wave vibrate (oscillate) parallel to the direction of energy transferA sound wave is an example of a longitudinal waveAn electromagnetic wave is an example of a longitudinal waveLongitudinal waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions4Which of the following is NOT an example of a transverse wave?An electromagnetic wave (such as a light wave)A wave which is travelling along a vibrating guitar stringA water waveA primary seismic wave (P-wave)

A transverse wave is characterized by particle motion that is:Select one:a.Parallel to the direction of wave travelb.In the opposite direction of wave travelc.Perpendicular to the direction of wave traveld.In the same direction as the wave source

difference between longitudinal and transverse waves

Explain whether sound waves are transverse or longitudinal, and what this means.
