Question
Mechanical waves on the surface of a liquid are
- Longitudinal
- Transverse
- Both transverse and longitudinal
- Torsional
Hint:
It can be perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation or propagate in the direction of oscillation.
The correct answer is: Both transverse and longitudinal
- Mechanical waves on the surface of liquid. For ex- ripples on water surface or water waves.
- It is an example of both longitudinal and transverse waves.
- So, the correct option is c.
