MCQ
The categories of mechanical waves include:
- AElectrottnagnetic, longitudinal, transverse
- BElectromagnetic, transverse
- ✓Longitudinal, transverse
- DElectromagnetic, transverse
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Longitudinal, transverse
(c)
Longitudinal, transverse
Explanation:
Mechanical waves are classified into two main types: longitudinal waves, where particle displacement is parallel to wave motion, and transverse waves, where particle displacement is perpendicular to wave motion.
