Choose the correct statement.

• In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave's motion. So, the particles vibrate side to side and the wave travels side to side.
• In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave's motion. So, the particles move up and down but the wave travels side to side.
