- Transverse waves cause objects to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave
- A particle is a kind of object
- Therefore, transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave

So, transverse waves cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave
Question: When a transverse wave passes from right to left through a medium, what happens to the particles of the medium?
Context: - Transverse waves cause objects to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave 
- A particle is a kind of object
