Study the scenario. Avery shakes one end of a spring from side to side. The wave travels from its end of the spring to the opposite end of the spring.
Which of the following choices best describes the type of wave generated in the spring?
It is a transverse wave. As Avery moves the spring from side to side, the wave moves forward. The two movements are parallel.
It is a longitudinal wave. As Avery moves the spring from side to side, the wave moves forward. The two movements are parallel.
It is a transverse wave. As Avery moves the spring from side to side, the wave moves forward. The two movements are perpendicular.
It is a longitudinal wave. As Avery moves the spring from side to side, the wave moves forward. The two movements are perpendicular.
a? Or it? If you shake a spring from side to side, the particles move from left to right. But the energy goes to the other end basically a straight line. So it would be perpendicular. 3rd choice transverse waves, the movement is perpendicular. The transverses are perpendicular. The longitudes are parallel. the displacement of the spring parallel or perpendicular
… to the journey of the wave? Im confused… Oh, thanks for the explanation! i really appreciate that
