NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Transverse Wave (i) Displacement is parallel to wave direction (b) Longitudinal Wave (ii) Displacement is perpendicular to wave direction (c) Wave Function of Longitudinal Wave (iii) s(x, t) = a sin(kx - ωt + φ) (d) Wave Function of Transverse Wave (iv) y(x, t) = f(x - vt)
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Transverse waves have displacements that are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves have displacements that are parallel to the wave direction. The wave function for a longitudinal wave is given as s(x, t) = a sin(kx - ωt + φ), while for a transverse wave, it can be represented in another form.
