Question

How do particles move when a surface wave passes through a medium?
A. Parallel to the direction of wave motion
B. Perpendicular to the direction of wave motion
C. Both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of wave motion
D. Neither parallel nor perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

Answer 1

Answer:

perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

Explanation:

when in a medium, they only go up and down or back and forth meaning the wave won't ever move the left or right side of the particles, so it is perpendicular
