Question

State whether the given statement is True or False :

The ripples in water waves are created by the oscillatory movement of water particles.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We know that a transverse wave consists of successive crests and troughs. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

We can easily see that the ripples in water are transverse in nature. They are created due to the oscillation of the water particles.
