Physics-Transverse & Longitudinal Waves
NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Hard-Class 11
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Transverse waves (i) Particle motion is parallel to wave propagation (b) Longitudinal waves (ii) Particle motion is perpendicular to wave propagation (c) Sound waves (iii) Example of longitudinal waves (d) Water waves (iv) Example of transverse waves
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
D
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Transverse waves have particle motion that is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to it. Sound waves are a classic example of longitudinal waves, and water waves exhibit transverse motion.
