Q: Particles oscillate up and down perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, what kind of waves are discussed here-
  • A. Longitudinal
  • B. Mechanical
  • C. Original
  • D. Transverse
Correct Answer: Option D - If the components of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, such waves are called transverse waves. Such waves are generated on the surface of the water and waves on one end of the rope when it blows.
