Question

Assertion: Sound wave is an example of longitudinal wave
Reason : In longitudinal waves, the constituents of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In longitudinal waves, the constituents of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. So sound wave is an example of longitudinal wave.
