The above figure shows the motion of a progressive wave along a string. The particle motion of the medium is in direction?
parallel to OX
parallel to OY
60o to OX
60v to OY
Selitys
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)
