The above figure shows the motion of a progressive wave along a string. The particle motion of the medium is in direction?
- parallel to OX
-
parallel to OY
- 60o to OX
- 60v to OY
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Particles of the transmitting medium in transverse wave oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave
Particle motion of a string (transverse wave) is parallel to OY (or perpendicular to OX)
There is an explanation video available .
