Which of the following statements are true for wave motion? Statement 1- Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through all media Statement 2- Longitudinal waves can propagate through solids only Statement 3- Mechanical transverse waves can propagate through solids only Statement 4- Longitudinal waves can propagate through vacuum.

Why transverse waves cannot propagate through vacuum ?

Transverse waves propagate in a medium with

A transverse wave is propagating on a stretched string of mass per unit length 32 gm^(-1) . The tension on the string is 80 N. The speed of the wave over the string is

Statement-1: Waves on a string are always transverse in nature. ltBrgt Statement-2: The velocity of a transverse wave propagating along a string is independent of the frequency of the propagating wave.

Assertion: Transverse waves are not produced in liquids and gases. Reason: Light waves are transverse waves.
