Physics

Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

mixer [17]

Answer: the lattice contains 1 magnesium ion for every 2 fluoride ions.

MgF_2  is an ionic compound. It contains positive ions of Magnesium and  and negative ions of Fluorine. To balance the +2 positive charge of one magnesium ion, two (-1) negatively charged Fluorine ions are present. Hence, The correct interpretation of MgF_2  is that the lattice contains 1 Magnesium ion for every 2 Fluoride ions.
