in a transverse wave, the motion of the particles is ______ the waves direction of propagation.
opposite from
parallel to
perperdincular to
along

Explanation:

A transverse wave is defined as a wave where the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For example, in a light wave (an electromagnetic transverse wave), the electric and magnetic field oscillations are perpendicular to the direction in which the light wave travels. In a water - surface wave (a mechanical transverse wave in two dimensions), the water particles move up and down (perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, which is along the surface).

Answer:

perpendicular to
