NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Transverse Wave (i) Direction of particle motion is parallel to wave propagation (b) Longitudinal Wave (ii) Direction of particle motion is perpendicular to wave propagation (c) Example in air (iii) Sound waves (d) Example in string (iv) Water waves
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Transverse waves have particle motion perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, while longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to it. Examples include sound waves in air (longitudinal) and waves on strings (transverse).
