With propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium, the quantity transmitted is

A

matter

B

energy

C

energy and matter

D

energy, matter and momentum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
During the propagation of longitudinal waves, these is no physical shifting of any part of the medium, Hence only energy gets transferred to the particle of medium, turn by turn in the direction of propagation of wave.
