Question

In transverse waves, there is no _________ motion.

Answer 1

In a transverse wave, the disturbance are carried forward and the particles are undergoing to and fro motion. Hence in transverse waves, there is no horizontal motion.

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to the other location without transporting any matter.

There are two types of matter,

(i) Transverse wave

(ii) Longitudinal wave

In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means, the particles undergo to and fro motion about their mean position and moves in the direction of the wave propagation.

Examples are:

• Radio waves
• Light waves
• Water waves when a stone is dropped in the pond

Whereas longitudinal waves undergo back and forth motion with respect to the mean position.
