Question

The disturbance in a medium travels by displacing the particles of the medium.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

A particle of the medium in contact with the vibrating object is displaced from its equilibrium position. This particle then exerts a force on the particle adjacent to it and displaces the particle from its position of rest. The first particle then again comes back to its position of equilibrium. So there will be a continuous displacement of particles as long as disturbance is present.
