Which statements apply to transverse waves? Check all that apply.

a. The waves have a trough.

b. Particles move only small distances.

c. The waves have a crest.

d. The energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.

e. Particles travel the length of the wave, moving in an up-

There are many types of waves. One of the wave is transverse wave. In this type of wave, the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of motion. This type of wave travels in the form of crest and trough.

The correct options are:

1. The waves have a trough.

2. The waves have a crest.

3. The energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.

Hence, this is the required solution.

D.) The energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion

E.) Particles travel the length of the wave, moving in an up and down motion.
