NEET Physics Wave Motion Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Mechanical waves (i) Require a medium for propagation (b) Electromagnetic waves (ii) Can travel through vacuum (c) Phase difference (iii) Governed by the principle of superposition (d) Amplitude (iv) Determines the energy carried by the wave
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Mechanical waves require a medium for propagation, while electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum. The phase difference relates to interference, which is governed by the principle of superposition, and amplitude determines the energy carried by the wave.
