    Question

    The density of a medium ____ when a transverse wave propagates through it.

    1. Becomes zero
    2. Becomes non-uniform
    3. Dilutes
    4. Does not change

    Hint:

    Density doesn't change when a transverse wave propagates through it.

    The correct answer is: Does not change


      • The density of a material varies with temperature and pressure.
      • Waves travel faster in the least dense medium.
      • Density of a medium does not changes when a transverse wave propagates through it.
      • So, the correct option is d.
