Question

State whether the given statement is True or False :

Progressive waves are waves originating from a source such that they never return to the source.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Progressive waves are waves originating from a source such that they continuously travel along the direction of propagation, but never return to the source.

There are special waves in which they get reflected from the other side and return to the source. They again get reflected from the source and travel forwards. This cycle keeps on repeating. Such waves are called stationery waves.
