Water waves produced by a motor boat sai...

Water waves produced by a motor boat sailing in water are

A

neither longitudinla nor transvere.

B

both longitudinal and transverse.

C

only logitudinal.

D

only transverse.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When motor boat moves on water, waves produced arfe of both the types because in this case water molecules not only oscillate back and forth but also up and down.
