MCQ
A wave moving in a gas,
- ✓Must be longitudinal
- BMay be longitudinal
- CMust be transverse
- DMay be transverse
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Must be longitudinal
Because particles in a gas are far apart, only longitudinal wave can travel through it.

→Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, $5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
