Question

Compressions and rarefactions are formed as a result of ____ wave propagating through a material medium.

  1. Transverse wave
  2. Longitudinal wave
  3. Sound wave
  4. Water wave

hintHint:

Longitudinal waves form compressions and rarefactions

The correct answer is: Longitudinal wave


    • Compression and rarefaction are formed as a result of the longitudinal waves propagating through a material medium.
    • Crest and trough are formed in transverse waves.
