Question
Give two examples each of longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
✓
Answer
Longitudinal waves:
- The waves which travel along a spring when it is pushed and pulled at one end.
- Sound waves in air.
- The waves produced by moving one end of a long spring up and down rapidly, while other end is fixed.
- The water waves or ripples formed on the surface of water in a pond.

One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound $P$ is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to $P,$ brisk effervescence are produced. When $50g$ of reactant $P$ was heated strongly, than $22g$ of a gas $Q$ and $28g$ of a solid $R$ were produced as products. Gas $Q$ is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute $\text{HCl}$ to$ P.$ Gas $Q$ is said to cause global warming whereas solid $R$ is used for white$-$washing.
