NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Longitudinal Waves (i) Require shear modulus of elasticity (b) Transverse Waves (ii) Involve compressions and rarefactions (c) Mechanical Waves (iii) Travel through solids, liquids, and gases (d) Energy Transfer (iv) Occurs without motion of matter as a whole
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Longitudinal waves involve compressions and rarefactions (a-ii), while transverse waves require shear modulus of elasticity (b-i). Mechanical waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases (c-iii), and energy transfer occurs without the motion of matter as a whole (d-iv).
