DA #3 Review

Look at the diagrams. Which diagram best illustrates transverse waves and why?

• Diagram A because the direction of vibration is the same as the direction of motion of the wave energy.

• Diagram B because the direction of vibration is the same as the direction of motion of the wave energy.

• Diagram A because the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave energy.

• Diagram B because the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave energy.
