The particles in a wave are moving up and down in comparison to the ground. which best describes the wave producing this motion? a longitudinal wave moving east a longitudinal wave moving south a transverse wave moving down a transverse wave moving west

Answer : (D) " a transverse wave moving west " is the correct option.

Explanation :

We know that there are many types of waves like a longitudinal wave, transverse waves etc.

In a longitudinal wave, the particles move in the direction of propagation of waves or we can say parallel to the motion of the wave. The sound wave is one of the longitudinal waves.

While in transverse waves, the particles move up and down or perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Light is a transverse wave.

It is given that, the particles in a wave are moving up and down in comparison to the ground. So, the wave must be moving in the west or east direction.

Out of given options, the correct one is (D) " a transverse wave moving west ".
