Transverse Waves

Explain the reflection of transverse and longitudinal waves from a denser and a rarer medium.

Longitudinal waves cannot

Assertion: Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal. Reason: In surface wave particles undergo circular motion.

What is a longitudinal wave ?

State if the motion is transverse, longitudinal or a combination of both. Wave produced by a motorboat sailing in water.

State if the motion is transverse, longitudinal or a combination of both. Wave produced in a cylinder containing water by moving its piston back and forth.

State if the motion is transverse, longitudinal or a combination of both. Ultrasonic waves in air produced by a vibrating quartz crystal.
