Transverse wave motion is possible in which media : solid, liquid, gases

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine in which media transverse wave motion is possible—solid, liquid, or gas—we need to analyze the properties of each medium in relation to wave motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Wave Motion**: - Waves can be classified into two main types: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, the displacement of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. 2. **Characteristics of Solids**: ...
