Which statement correctly describes the vibration of particles in relation to the direction of energy transfer for transverse and longitudinal waves?
In transverse waves, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transfer; in longitudinal waves, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
In transverse waves, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer; in longitudinal waves, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
In both transverse and longitudinal waves, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
In both transverse and longitudinal waves, particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
