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. what is true about the transverse waves maya creates in the ropes? select the true sentences. the waves and the particles of matter move in parallel directions. the waves and the particles of matter move in perpendicular directions. the waves travel from left to right. the particles of matter in the ropes move up and down.

Explanation:

• The problem is about the properties of transverse waves.
• According to the description, transverse waves travel horizontally (left - right) and particles move vertically (up - down), so they move perpendicularly.

Answer:

• The waves and the particles of matter move in perpendicular directions.
• The waves travel from left to right.
• The particles of matter in the ropes move up and down.
