NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Sound wave | (i) Direction of particle motion is parallel to wave propagation |
| (b) Water wave | (ii) Direction of particle motion is perpendicular to wave propagation |
| (c) Longitudinal wave | (iii) Example of a transverse wave |
| (d) Transverse wave | (iv) Example of a longitudinal wave |
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Sound waves are longitudinal waves where the particle motion is parallel to wave propagation (a-i). Water waves are transverse in nature, which means the particle motion is perpendicular to the wave direction (b-ii). Longitudinal waves, such as sound waves, are defined by this property (c-iv), and transverse waves include examples like water waves (d-iii).
