question 12 - a sound wave is a longitudinal wave. compare the direction of the particle movement with the movement of the wave.\niv. assessment - this section is a summary of what you have learned from the simulation. (*this section is paraphrased from the physics classroom section at the end of the simulation.)\n1. in a transverse wave, which statement below describes how the particles of the rope travel?\na. move from left to right\nb. move around a fixed point\nc. move perpendicularly to the wave motion\n2. in a transverse wave, the particles in the medium move -\na. perpendicular\nb. parallel\n3. in a longitudinal wave, the particles in the medium move -\na. perpendicular\nb. parallel\nc. diagonal to the wave particles
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- In a transverse wave, particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave motion. In a longitudinal wave, particles in the medium move parallel to the wave motion. These are fundamental characteristics of wave - particle motion in physics.
- For the transverse wave question, the correct description of particle motion is perpendicular to the wave motion. For the longitudinal wave question, the correct description of particle motion is parallel to the wave motion.
Answer:
- a. Perpendicular
- b. parallel
