NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Transverse Waves (i) Particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation (b) Longitudinal Waves (ii) Particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (c) Sound Waves (iii) Examples of mechanical waves in a medium (d) Water Waves (iv) A type of wave not requiring a medium
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iii
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Transverse waves involve particle motion that is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves have particle motion that is parallel to the wave's direction. Sound waves are longitudinal, whereas water waves are typically transverse, demonstrating the characteristics of each type as discussed in the NCERT context.
