Question
Matching: Match each statement to the type of waveform it describes. Note: an answer may be used more than once or not at all.
A. Transverse waves
B. Orbital waves
C. Longitudinal waves
D. Mixed wave form (both orbital and longitudinal)
E. Transfixed wave form
.1. Particles move in a circular motion.
.2. Particles move back and forth in the direction of propagation (travel) of the wave.
.3. Particles move back and forth in a direction at right angles to the direction of propagation (travel) of the wave.
.4. Typical wind-driven “deep-water” waves.
.5. Tsunami.
Explanation / Answer
A. Transverse waves - Particles move back and forth in a direction at right angles to the direction of propagation (travel) of the wave.
B. Orbital waves - Particles move in a circular motion.
C. Longitudinal waves - Particles move back and forth in the direction of propagation (travel) of the wave
D. Mixed wave form (both orbital and longitudinal) - Typical wind-driven “deep-water” waves.
E. Transfixed wave form - Tsunami.
