Assertion : Partially transverse waves are possible on a liquid surface. Reason : Surface tension provide some rigidity on a liquid surface.

Statement-1 : Mechanical transverse waves cannot be generated in gaseous medium Statement-2 : Mechanical transverse waves can be produced only in such medium which have shearing property.

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

Which of the following statements are true wave motion? a) Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through all mediums. b) Longitudinal waves can propagate through solids only c) Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through only d) Longitudinal waves can propagate through vacuum.

(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.

A transverse wave travels along x-axis . The particles of medium move

Assertion : Ethers can be dried by using sodium wire. Reason : Ethers do not react with sodium.

Assertion : A wave is motion of matter as a whole in a medium. Reason : Wind is same as sound wave in air.

A transverse wave travels along the Z-axis. The particles of the medium must move

Assertion: When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses speed. The reduction in speed imply a reduction in energy carried by the light wave. Reason: The energy of a wave is proportional to velocity of wave.
