In which direction will particle A move in the next instant of time?updownleftright - 2. Multiple ChoiceA periodic wave transfersparticles onlyenergy onlyboth energy and particlesneither energy nor particles
- 3. Multiple ChoiceAs a transverse wave travels through a medium, the individual particles of the medium moveperpendicular to the direction of wave travelparallel to the direction of wave travelin circlesin ellipses
- 4. Multiple ChoiceA longitudinal wave moves to the right through a uniform medium, as shown below. Points A, B, C, D, and E represent the positions of particles of the medium.
Which diagram best represents the motion of particle C as it moves to the right?(1)(2)(3)(4) - 5. Multiple ChoiceA longitudinal wave moves to the right through a uniform medium, as shown below. Points A, B, C, D, and E represent the positions of particles of the medium.
