Question

how is momentum traansferred in positive direction transverse wave while particles oscillate up and down?

Arun · Answer

If we watch a leaf on a pond as a ripple goes by we observe that it does not travel with the wave; it merely moves up and down at the same position. This fact implies that a wave transports both energy and momentum without transporting matter.
