Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu.
waves that move at a right angle to the direction of the wave are called ▼ waves. waves in which the disturbance moves in the same direction as the wave are called ▼ waves. ▼ waves are two transverse waves that travel together and are are at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: Transverse waves are defined as waves where the particle displacement is perpendicular (right angle) to the direction of wave propagation. So the first drop - down should be "transverse".
2. For the second blank: Longitudinal waves are waves where the particle displacement is in the same direction as the direction of wave propagation (the disturbance moves in the same direction as the wave). So the second drop - down should be "longitudinal".
3. For the third blank: Polarized waves (specifically, in the context of light which is a transverse wave, polarized light consists of two transverse waves that travel together and are at right angles to each other) fit the description. So the third drop - down should be "Polarized".

Answer:

First drop - down: transverse waves
Second drop - down: longitudinal waves
Third drop - down: Polarized waves
