Wave and Particle Motion of Waves

A transverse ...

Question

A transverse wave travels along the Z-axis. The particles of the medium must move
(a) along the Z-axis
(b) along the X-axis
(c) along the Y-axis
(d) in the X-Y plane.

Solution

(d) in the X–Y plane

In a transverse wave, particles move perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. In other words, if a wave moves along the Z-axis, the particles will move in the X–Y plane.
