Question

which of the following statements are true regarding a transverse wave
a) particles oscillates about their mean position
b) the direction of oscillation of particles is a perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
c) the direction of oscillation of particles is a parallel to the direction of wave propagation
d) particles do not oscillate about their mean positions​

Answer 1

${\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{Answer}}}}}$

Options (b) and (d) are correct.

${\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{explanation}}}}}$

In transverse waves particles oscillate vertically

thus they oscillate perpendicular to direction of wave propagation and thus direction of wave Prorogation is horizontal.

And particles do not oscillate on their mean position that's why they form a Transversing wave.

More about Transverse waves ------>>>

Circular ripples in water when a stone is thrown is example of a transverse wave in nature. Ripples get formed on surface because particles oscillate Perpendicularly.

Highest displacement of a particle in upward direction in a transverse wave are called crests .

Highest displacement of a particle in downward direction in transverse waves are called troughs.

Wavelength of transverse waves is the distance between two troughs or two crests.
