A pebble is dropped in a pond. A picture of the circular ripples on the surface of the water after a few drops of water hit the surface. Which best describes the type of wave seen here? transverse, because the water molecules move up and down, which is parallel to the motion of the wave transverse, because the water molecules move up and down, which is perpendicular to the motion of the wave longitudinal, because the water molecules move up and down, which is parallel to the motion of the wave longitudinal, because the water molecules move up and down, which is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
