Question

augie created this chart about the two kinds of waves. two kinds of waves title 1 the transfer energy is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. particles move up and down. particles move only slightly. title 2 the transfer energy is parallel to the direction of wave motion. particles move side to side. particles move only slightly. which best labels the chart? title 1 is \longitudinal waves,\ and title 2 is \transverse waves.\ title 1 is \transverse waves,\ and title 2 is \longitudinal waves.\ title 1 is \electromagnetic waves,\ and title 2 is \mechanical waves.\ title 1 is \mechanical waves,\ and title 2 is \electromagnetic waves.\

Explanation:

• Transverse waves: The energy transfer is perpendicular to the wave motion. Particles move up - down (perpendicular to wave direction).
• Longitudinal waves: The energy transfer is parallel to the wave motion. Particles move side - to - side (parallel to wave direction).
• Electromagnetic waves are a type of transverse wave (but the key distinction here is based on particle motion and energy - transfer direction relation). Mechanical waves can be either transverse or longitudinal.

Answer:

Title 1 is “Transverse Waves,” and Title 2 is “Longitudinal Waves.”
