Solution

The correct option is B transverse
Mexican waves are analogous to transverse waves. People standing up and sitting down successively in a Mexican wave formation is similar to particles oscillating perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave.

Doing the Mexican wave' in a sports stadium is when people stand and sit in a continuuous order. So as to make a wave [as looked from outside] people don't leave their respective seat and just move up and down. The wave, transverse in nature appears to be moving. Is this example of a real physical wave?

What is the difference between Transerversal waves and Mexican wave?

How many perceptions of sound waves are normally observed?

Q. in a 6m long slinky, it is observed that a longitudinal wave completes 4 waves in 10 sec. on these observation find the speed of wave in slinky .

Q. S is a stationary source of sound emitting waves of frequency

440 Hz

. These waves are reflected by a stationary wall and heard by observer O moving away with

v = 10 m/s

. Find beat frequency (in Hz) heard by observer in the position shown (due to superposition between reflected and direct waves)

(V_{sound} = 330 m/s)
