NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Transverse waves can propagate in solids, liquids, and gases.
Reason (R): Transverse waves require the shear modulus of elasticity to propagate.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Transverse waves require a medium with shear modulus, hence they cannot propagate in liquids and gases, only in solids.
