Physics-Transverse & Longitudinal Waves
NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 11
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 |
A
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
D
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Option A
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.
