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

each student bumps the shoulder of his or her neighbor.

at the exact time, all students take a step to the right.

the students skip clockwise, going in a circular motion. one at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down.

I think the correct answer would be one at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down. A transverse wave is a moving type of wave that has oscillations happening perpendicular to the direction of the energy applied. Hope this helps.

Answer;

One at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down.

Explanation;A transverse wave is a type of a wave in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.Particles in a transverse wave vibrates vertically creating regions of maximum displacement called crests and regions of minimum called troughs.In this case when, One at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down, they create a form of a transverse wave where when the hands are up that corresponds to a crest and when they are down that corresponds to a trough.
