in a transverse wave, how do the particles move compared to the direction the wave travels?
perpendicular
parallel
randomly
in circles

Explanation:

In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is a key characteristic of transverse waves. For example, in a wave on a string, the string moves up and down (perpendicular) while the wave travels along the length of the string.

Answer:

Perpendicular
