Question

The direction of vibration of particles of medium decides the wave type.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

For a wave, if particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave, then it is a transverse wave, and if the particles of the medium vibrate paralllel or in the direction of propagation of the wave then it is a longitudinal wave. So, the direction of vibration of particles of the medium decide the type of wave.
