Question

The transverse wave shown below is traveling left to right. When the wave hits Particle A, in what direction will Particle A move?(1 point)Responsessame direction as the wavesame direction as the waveDown and then upDown and then upTo the leftTo the leftTo the right

Answer 1

In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel. Since the wave is traveling left to right, Particle A will move up and down as the wave passes, but not in the direction of the wave.

Therefore, the correct response is: **Down and then up.**
