Question

All waves can be classified into two categories which are

• A. Sound waves and electromagnetic waves
• B. Transverse waves and electromagnetic waves
• C. Longitudinal waves and electromagnetic waves
• D. Transverse waves and longitudinal waves

Answer 1

The correct option is D Transverse waves and longitudinal waves

All waves can be classified into two categories. They are Transverse and longitudinal waves.

A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves.

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves

Therefore option $D$ is correct
