Hana Mercer · Answer 1

The direction of energy and wave propagation are perpendicular. The second statement is correct.'

Samantha Jones · Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave would be the energy direction is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
