Question

True or false for both?!

If the particles are traveling perpendicular to the direction of the wave, it is a transverse wave.

In an electromagnetic wave, light particles travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave.




Thanks! :)

Answer 1

I believe the first one is true because a transverse wave generally looks like a right angle. The second one is also true. May I ask what Physics class you are taking, regular, honors, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2? Also how close are you to finishing it?
