(A ): The light can travel in vacuum but sound cannot do so (R) : Light is an electromagnetic wave and sound is a mechanical wave

(A) : Relative to an observer at rest in a medium the speed of a mechanical wave in that medium (1) depends only on elastic and other properties (such as mass density) of the medium. It does not depend on the velocity of the source. (B): For an observer moving with velocity v_(0) relative to the medium, the speed of a wave is obviously different from v and is given by v+-v_(0)

(A): Mechanical transverse waves cannot be generated in a gaseous medium. (R): A gaseous medium has only bulk modulus.

(A): Mechanical transverse waves can propagate only in medium with shear inodulus of elasticity (B) : Longitudinal waves need bulk modulus of elasticity and are therefore. Possible in all media, solids, liquids and gases

(A): Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only mechanical longitudinal waves can propagate in gases. (R): For the propagation of mechanical transverse waves, medium must also necessarily have the property of rigidity.
