MCQ
The nature of sound waves in gases is
  • A
    Transverse
  • ✓
    Longitudinal
  • C
    Stationary
  • D
    Electromagnetic
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Longitudinal
b
The sound waves produced in a medium are the longitudinal waves. Sound waves in air and fluids are longitudinal waves, because the particles that transport the sound vibrate parallel to the direction of the sound wave's travel.
