Question

Augie created this chart about the two kinds of waves.

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.”

Answer 1

Title 1 is “Transverse Waves,” and Title 2 is “Longitudinal Waves.”

Explanation: transverse waves have particle motion perpendicular to wave propagation (up and down), while longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to propagation (side to side, compressions and rarefactions).
