Statement-1 : Transverse mechanical wave...

Statement-1 : Transverse mechanical waves can not be propagated in liquids and gases.
Statement-2 : Molecules in liquids and gases are having some finite separation from each other.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To transmit a transverse mechanical wave the (medium must be elastic so as to provide a restoring force when acted on by shearing stress. But liquids and gases cannot sustain shear stress to provide restoring force, but rather start flowing when acted on by shearing stress.
