The vibrations of a transverse wave move in a direction

• along the direction of wave travel

• at right angles to the directions of wave travel

The vibrations of a longitudinal wave move in a direction

• along the direction of wave travel

• at right angles to the direction of wave travel

a 60 vibration per second wave travels 30 k in 1 s. Its frequency is

• 30 htz and it travels at 60 m/s

• 60 htz and it travels at 30 m/s

• neither
