Question

Complete the passage.

Sound waves and some earthquake waves are
waves. Ocean, light, and other earthquake waves are
waves.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave. This requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave. This does not require a medium to travel. These can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Hence, Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves

Answer 2

Answer:

Longitudinal, transverse.

Explanation:

The definitions:

Longitudinal wave: A type of wave that transfers energy parallel to the direction of wave motion.

Transverse wave: A type of wave that transfers energy perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
