The diagram below shows a representation of two different waves. Which of the following classifies wave X and
wave Y?


a. Wave X is longitudinal and wave Y is transverse.
b. Both waves are transverse.
c. Both waves are longitudinal
d. Wave X is transverse and wave Y is longitudinal.

Answer 1

Answer:A-wave X is transverse and wave Y is longitudinal

Explanation:

Answer 2

According to the diagram, wave X is a transverse wave, whereas wave Y is a longitudinal wave (Option D).

What is a wave?

A wave can be defined as a particular disturbance that propagates (travels) both in space and time.

• A longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in the same direction as the wave.

• A transverse wave is a wave that travels in a perpendicular direction as the wave.

In conclusion, according to the diagram, wave X is a transverse wave, whereas wave Y is a longitudinal wave (Option D).
