In which of the following wave types is the particle motion perpendicular to wave motion?
A longitudinal wave
B p wave
C surface wave
D transverse wave

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Transverse Wave

Explanation:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion.

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

A P wave, or compression wave, is a seismic body wave that shakes the ground back and forth in the same direction and the opposite direction as the direction the wave is moving.

A transverse wave is a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
