When a wave propogates through a medium what is the direction of vibrations of the particles, if thewave is (i) transverse and (ii) longitudinal

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the direction of vibrations of particles in transverse and longitudinal waves, we can break it down into two parts: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Transverse Waves:** - In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. - For example, if the wave is moving horizontally from left to right, the particles of the medium will move up and down (or vice versa) around their mean position. ...
