Question
Explain how you would describe oscillations in a transverse wave as perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. in the context of Waves in air, fluids and solids.
Answer
A strong answer should clearly describe oscillations in a transverse wave as perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. using accurate physics vocabulary and direct links to Transverse and longitudinal waves.
Explanation
This exam-style question is aligned to the approved learning objective for Transverse and longitudinal waves and expects a structured physical explanation rather than a single fact.
