Meaning that its like they are tied togethere. One moves up...and its connected to the adjacent one....the adjacent is forced to move up. The energy of the first part was transfered to the second partcle by coupling. If you were to step back and look at the wave as a whole the energy would move parallel...while the actual motion is perpendicular<br><b>References : </b><br> The wave energy transfer because even though individual particles move perpendicular they are coupled .
