The waves produced by a motor boat sailing in water are :

A

Transverse

B

Longitudinal

C

Longitudunal and transverse

D

Stationary

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The motion of the water boat disturbs the surface of water.Bow waves are generated on the surface.These are transverse waves are generated on the surface.Inside the water,the vibrations of the rudder produces longitudinal waves.
