Question

marcus pulls on an stretched coil and observes the following wave motion. what is the motion of the particles in this kind of wave? wave motion the particles will move up and down over large areas. the particles will move up and down over small areas. the particles will move side to side over small areas. the particles will move side to side over large areas.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave (such as the one on a stretched coil), particles move parallel to the direction of wave motion, which means side - to - side. The motion is restricted to small areas around their equilibrium positions.

Answer:

The particles will move side to side over small areas.
