Question

a transverse wave travels in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction the particles of the medium move. in other words, the waves travel horizontally from mayas arms along the length of the ropes, while the particles of matter in the ropes move vertically. complete the sentences. the transverse wave that maya creates in a rope travels from left to right and the particles of matter in the rope move up and down. this means that the wave and the particles of matter move in directions. perpendicular parallel

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The problem is about the properties of a transverse wave. As per the given information, a transverse wave travels horizontally (from left to right in this case) and the particles of the medium move vertically (up and down). Since horizontal and vertical directions are at right - angles (perpendicular), we can conclude the relationship between the wave's direction and the particle's direction of motion.

Answer:

perpendicular
