Question

1. what type of wave is shown below?

transverse wave
longitudinal wave
combined wave
sound wave

Explanation:

In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles move parallel to the wave - propagation direction. A combined wave has characteristics of both. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave. The wave shown has particles moving perpendicular to the wave's overall direction, which is characteristic of a transverse wave.

Answer:

A. Transverse wave
