physics sound types of waves sound as a wave of disturbance sound waves are longitudinal waves

  1. perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation

  2. parallel to the direction of wave propagation

  3. radial to the direction of wave propagation

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is a wave that consists of oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation

The correct option is (b)

In a longitudinal wave, the density of particles is more at a compression.

physics sound types of waves sound as a wave of disturbance sound waves are longitudinal waves

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

in longitudinal waves at compressions density is high and at rerefactions the particle density is low.

so the answer is A.
