Question
With propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium, the quantity transmitted is:
- Matter.
- Energy.
- Energy and matter.
- Energy, matter and momentum.
✓
Answer
- Energy.
Explanation:
During propagation of any wave in a medium only energy is transmitted from one point to another. Matter does not change its own position it, vibrates about its mean position only.
