NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Transverse Wave (i) Particles oscillate parallel to wave direction (b) Longitudinal Wave (ii) Particles oscillate perpendicular to wave direction (c) Principle of Superposition (iii) Resultant displacement from multiple waves (d) Wave Propagation in Solids (iv) Atoms arranged in periodic lattice
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-iii, d-i
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a transverse wave, particles oscillate perpendicular to the wave direction, while in a longitudinal wave, they oscillate parallel to it. The principle of superposition states that the resultant displacement due to multiple waves is the algebraic sum of individual displacements, and wave propagation in solids involves atoms arranged in a periodic lattice.
