Which statements apply to transverse waves? Check all that apply.

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

The waves have a trough.

Particles move only small distances.

particles travel the length of the wave, moving in an up-and-down motion.

The waves have a crest.

The energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.

Explanation:

Transverse waves are the waves which can be characterised easily by their oscillation in a perpendicular direction to the path of the wave propagation.

The particle follows the wave nature and moves only to a small distance like ripples in the water and these waves possess the trough, the lower part and the crest the upper part.

These waves can be observed in ripples of the water, in a string of the guitar while playing and the electromagnetic waves.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

e) none of the above answers are correct

i believe the answer would be:

d. violin, clarinet, french horn, and tuba
