(a.) In a transverse wave the particle motion is perpendicular to thevelocity vector of the wave.
(b.) Not all waves are mechanical in nature.
(c.) The speed of a wave and the speed of the vibrating particles thatconstitute the wave are different entities.
5,vaves transport energy and matter from one region to another.
(e.) A wave in which particles move back and forth in the same directionwas the wave is moving is called a longitudinal wave.
