Wave Properties and Behavior

In a transverse wave, how do the particles of the medium move relative to the direction of wave propagation?

• Parallel to the wave direction

• Perpendicular to the wave direction

• In a circular motion

• They do not move

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if its frequency increases?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It becomes unpredictable

Which type of wave involves particles oscillating back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels?

• Transverse wave

• Electromagnetic wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Surface wave

What do waves primarily transmit?

• Matter

• Energy

• Both matter and energy

• Neither matter nor energy
