Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of waves do the particles vibrate perpendicular to the energy?
A
surface
B
transverse
C
mechanical
D
longitudinal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In transverse waves, particle of the medium vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -In physics, a transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave’s advance. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave which travels in the direction of its oscillations. Water waves are an example of transverse wave.

Detailed explanation-3: -A transverse wave causes the particles in the medium (the substance that the wave travels through) to vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave’s motion. A cork in water and the coils of a spring are examples of this. They move up and down as the wave passes.

Detailed explanation-4: -transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave’s advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves. transverse wave.
