Mark the correct option(s) out of the following:

A

Mechanical waves can be transverse in liquids.

B

in some medium, the speed of a longitudinal mechanical wave is greater than the speed of transverse mechanical wave.

C

transverse waves ate possible in bulk of a liquid.

D

Non-mechanical waves are transverse in nature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a., b., d.

Mechanical waves can be transverse on a liquid surface and this is possible only because of surfacing tension.
solid, `V_("longitudinal")gtv_("transverse")`
Transverse waves are possible only on the surface of a liquide because they require the peroperty of rigidity. all non-mechanical waves found till now are transverse in nature.
