Question

Sound travels as a transverse wave.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Sound travels in the form of compressions and rarefactions in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the direction of propagation of the wave.
2. Thus sound is a longitudinal wave and not a transverse wave in which particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Hence, the given statement is false.
