The above figure shows the motion of a progressive wave along a string. The particle motion of the medium is in direction?
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
parallel to OX
B
parallel to OY
C
60o to OX
D
60v to OY
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Particles of the transmitting medium in transverse wave oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave
Particle motion of a string (transverse wave) is parallel to OY (or perpendicular to OX)
