Match the following:
| Column | Column | ||
| (a) | Transverse wave through a steel rod | (i) | |
| (b) | Longitudinal waves in earth's crust | (ii) | |
| (c) | Longitudinal waves through a steel rod | (iii) | |
| (d) | Ripples | (iv) |
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
A wave is a disturbance that propagates energy from one place to another without transporting any matter.Waves travelling through a solid medium can be either transverse waves or longitudinal waves. Transverse wave cannot travel through liquid or gas as it require a relatively rigid medium in order to transmit their energy.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
