NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Particle motion in transverse waves (i) Parallel to wave propagation (b) Particle motion in longitudinal waves (ii) Normal to wave propagation (c) Wave example in air (iii) Sound wave (d) Wave example in water (iv) Light wave
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-i, d-iii
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In transverse waves, the particle motion is normal to the direction of propagation, while in longitudinal waves, it is parallel. The example of a sound wave in air represents longitudinal waves, while light waves are transverse in nature.
