Question
type of wave where the disturbance direction is perpendicular to the wave direction. dont pick this answer longitudinal wave transverse wave dont pick this answer
To determine the correct answer, we recall the definitions of wave types:
- A longitudinal wave has the disturbance direction parallel to the wave direction (e.g., sound waves in air).
- A transverse wave has the disturbance direction perpendicular to the wave direction (e.g., light waves, waves on a string).
The question asks for the wave where the disturbance direction is perpendicular to the wave direction. So we eliminate the options labeled "don't pick this answer" and the "Longitudinal Wave" (since its disturbance is parallel). The remaining valid option is "Transverse Wave".
