Question

A _____ exists for a longer duration wave or pulse ?

Answer 1

1. A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a medium due to the repeated oscillatory motion of the medium particles.
2. A single disturbance in a transmission medium is termed a pulse.
3. If there are multiple disturbances, it is termed a wave.
4. Therefore, a wave lasts for a longer time.

Hence, a wave exists for a longer duration.
