Answer

Brief Explanations:

In a transverse wave like the one shown (wave motion with hand - generated disturbance), the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For a wave on a spring or similar medium, the particles move up and down in small areas around their equilibrium positions. They do not move over large areas or side - to - side in the context of this transverse wave motion.

Answer:

The particles will move up and down over small areas.
