Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. what best describes the motion of the students?

For transverse waves the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. A ripple on a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized transverse waves. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

The rearrangement of particles in a physical change. hope this
