Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Light is a transverse wave, whereas sound is a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the medium or channel moves in the same direction as the wave. The particles, in this case, move from left to right as the wave moves horizontally. In a transverse wave, the medium or channel moves perpendicular to the wave's direction. The particles, in this case, travel up and down as the wave moves horizontally.
