Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Which of these statements are correct regarding Secondary waves?

1. The particles travel perpendicular to the wave.
2. High frequency and short wavelength.
3. They do not pass through liquid materials.

• A. 1 & 2
• B. 2 only
• C. 1 & 3
• D. 1, 2 & 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 & 3

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Secondary waves or Shear waves are transverse waves which create vibrations perpendicular to the direction of wave movement. The S waves only travel through solids because liquids and gases have no shear strength..They have medium to long wavelength.
