Question

What do ocean waves and sound waves have in common?
A. Both are transverse waves.B. both are longitudinal waves
C. Both are electromagnetic waves.
D. Both exhibit the same particle-to-particle interaction.
E. Both are mechanical waves.

Answer 1

Ocean waves and sound waves are : mechanical wave. A and B aren't right at all. and C is  wrong because they aren't electromagnetic.
Mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

Hope this help

Answer 2

Answer:

E. Both are mechanical waves.

Explanation:

Ocean waves are transverse mechanical waves. Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Transverse waves are those in which the medium particles move up and down, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Sound waves are longitudinal waves mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of motion of the wave.
