Question

The type of waves that can be propagated through the solid is

• A. Transverse Wave
• B. Longitudinal Wave
• C. both (A) and (B)
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

both (A) and (B)

1. Transverse waves - In transverse waves, the particles of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation
2. It can propagate in solids and liquids only.
3. Longitudinal waves – In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium oscillate in the direction of propagation.
4. It can propagate in solids, liquids, and gases.
5. Hence,(C) is the correct answer.
