Question

A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column labeled wave has entries W, X, Y, Z. The second column labeled Observations has entries its motion is perpendicular to wave motion, its particles move up and down, its particles only move small amounts, its motion is parallel to wave motion.
Which statement is best supported by the table?

Waves W and Y are transverse waves, Wave X could be a longitudinal or transverse wave, and Wave Z is a longitudinal wave.
Waves W and Y are longitudinal waves, Wave X could be a longitudinal or transverse wave, and Wave Z is a transverse wave.
Waves W and X are longitudinal waves, Wave Y could be a longitudinal or transverse wave, and Wave Z is a transverse wave.
Waves W and X are transverse waves, Wave Y could be a longitudinal or transverse wave, and Wave Z is a longitudinal wave.

Answer 1

Waves W and Y are transverse waves, Wave X could be a longitudinal or transverse wave, and Wave Z is a longitudinal wave.
