Question

which type of wave has particles that move perpendicular to the waves motion? longitudinal logical transverse

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Longitudinal waves: Particles move parallel to the wave's direction of propagation. For example, sound waves in air are longitudinal.
  • Logical is not a type of wave in the context of wave - particle motion.
  • Transverse waves: Particles move perpendicular to the wave's direction of motion. Light waves (electromagnetic waves) and waves on a string are examples of transverse waves.

Answer:

Transverse
