Question

Assuming this is a snapshot of a travelling harmonic wave, select the correct answer for each of the questions below. E.g., if the answer to the first question is A, and the answers to the rest, B, enter ABBBB. You only have 4 tries! A. B)-C) D) E) the velocity is zero i. In what direction is a particle at point S moving if the wave is travelling to the right? ii. In what direction is a particle at point 4 moving if the wave is travelling to the left? iii. In what direction is the wave travelling if a particle at point 3 has an upward velocity? iv. In what direction is the wave travelling if a particle at point 3 has a downward velocity? v. In what direction is a particle at point 8 moving if the wave is travelling to the right?

Explanation / Answer

answer is AACBD

Particles of the medium through which transverse wave travels oscillate in only direction perpendicular (Up-Down) to the direction of wave (right-Left).

trick to find out particle's direction of velocity is to take particle in opposite direction (on the given wave contour) of the wave's direction of travel and see if it is going upwards or downwards.
