A 2-column table with 3 rows titled 2 Kinds of Waves. The first column labeled Title 1 has entries the transfer energy is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion, particles move up and down, particles move only slightly. The second column labeled Title 2 has entries the transfer direction is parallel to the direction of wave motion, particles move side to side, particles move only slightly.
Which best labels the chart?
Title 1 is “Longitudinal Waves,” and Title 2 is “Transverse Waves.”
Title 1 is “Transverse Waves,” and Title 2 is “Longitudinal Waves.”
Title 1 is “Electromagnetic Waves,” and Title 2 is “Mechanical Waves.”
Title 1 is “Mechanical Waves,” and Title 2 is “Electromagnetic Waves.”

The best label for the chart is: Title 1 is “Transverse Waves,” and Title 2 is “Longitudinal Waves.”
In transverse waves, the transfer of energy is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion, and particles move up and down. In longitudinal waves, the transfer of energy is parallel to the direction of wave motion, and particles move side to side.
