Transverse
Longitudinal
C
D
Question 2
2.
Which are characteristics of a longitudinal wave? Check all that apply
The energy moves parallel to the medium
The waves look like compressions
The waves look like hills and valleys
Question 3
3.
What type of wave is shown above?
Transverse
Longitudinal
Question 4
4.
Which are characteristics of a transverse wave?
The medium is disturbed perpendicular to the direction energy travels.
The waves look like compressions
The waves look like hills and valleys.
The medium moves up and down while the energy moves right to left.
