A mechanical wave is...

• an oscillation of matter that transfers energy through a required medium

• a wave that only travels in a straight line
• a type of electromagnetic wave
• a wave that does not require a medium to travel through

How does matter move in a transverse wave?

• In the same direction as the wave
• In a circular motion
• Remains stationary
• Perpendicular to the direction of the wave

How does matter move in a longitudinal wave?

• In the same direction as the wave is traveling
• It doesn't move at all
• In the opposite direction of the wave
• It moves perpendicular to the wave
