Which of the following statements are true for wave motion? Statement 1- Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through all media Statement 2- Longitudinal waves can propagate through solids only Statement 3- Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through solids only Statement 4- Longitudinal waves can propagate through vacuum.

Assertion : Sound waves travel in the form of compressions and rarefactions in air. Reason : Because crests and troughs cannot be sustained in air, therefore, sound waves cannot travel through air in the form of transverse waves.

Assertion (A): Electromagnetic wave does not require any medium to travel. Reason (R): Electromagnetic wave cannot travel through any medium.
