CONCEPT:

  • Longitudinal Waves: Those waves whose direction of propagation and direction of disturbance is always parallel.
    • These waves produced in a medium that can sustain compressive strain. 
    • Example Sound Wave
  • Transverse Waves: Those waves whose direction of propagation and direction of disturbance is always perpendicular. 
    • These waves produced in a medium that can sustain shearing strain.
    • Example: Electromagnetic Waves.

EXPLANATION:

  • Wave is transverse in nature and travelling along the x-axis means the particle is oscillating in its perpendicular plane that is a y-z plane.
  • So option 3 is correct.

Mistake Points

  • Particle always oscillates in a plane.
  • So, always try to find the perpendicular plane instead of the perpendicular axis.
