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.

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

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

State if the motion is transverse, longitudinal or a combination of both. Motion of a kink in a long coil spring produced by displacing one end of the spring sideways.

Given below are some eamples of wave motion. State in each case, if the wave motino is transverse, longitudinal or a combination of both? (i) Motion of a kink in a long coil spring produced by displacing one end of spring side ways. (ii) Waves produed in a cylinder containing a liquid by moving its piston back and forth. (iii) Waves produed by a motor boat sailing in water. (iv) Light waves travelling from sun to earth. (v) ultrasonic waves in air produced by a vibrating quartz crystal.

Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal wave motion.

Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves.

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