Question

waves in water are mechanical waves in which the particles in the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport.Identify another name for this type of wave motion.

Answer 1

Explanation :

Waves are the disturbance in a medium. There are many types of waves such as transverse waves, longitudinal waves etc.

In transverse waves the particles in the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transport or in the direction of propagation of waves.

In longitudinal waves the particles of medium travels in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of waves.

Light waves are one of the transverse waves.
