Hello I am having trouble understanding why the horizontal component Fx is equal to the F for a wave on a string I am trying to understand Energy in wave motion. The picture attached is a representation of my problem. My textbook tells me that this is because it is a transverse wave which means the the direction of the wave is perpendicular to the displacement of the medium. I still don't understand why this is.
Thank You
