Question

A transverse wave is moving toward the right in a uniform medium. Point X represents a particle of the uniform medium. Which diagram represents the direction of the motion of particle X at the instant shown?

Answer 1

After looking at the transverse waves in the diagram you listed above, the one diagram that does represent the direction of particle X at the instant show in diagram number 3. The direction of the wave motion is up. The correct answer choice will be 3. 

Answer 2

Answer;

(4) last diagram

Explanation;

• A transverse wave is a type of wave where the movement of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave.
• Transverse waves forms regions of maximum displacement known as crests and troughs. The crests are the top points of the wave and the trough is the bottom point of the wave.
• In a transverse wave particles of the medium vibrate to and from in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport.
