Sound waves are a- transverse b- longitudinal c- transverse and longitudinal

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature.

Explanation:

There are many types of waves like transverse, longitudinal, electromagnetic wave etc.

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature. In longitudinal type of wave, the medium particles moves parallel to the propagation of the wave. This type of waves move in the form of compression and rarefaction.

In compression, the particle density at a point is very less while in rarefaction, the particle density at a point is very high.

So, the correct option is (b) "longitudinal wave".

hey sally!

Explanation:

Sound waves are C) Transverse and longitudinal.

We can say that a wave is produced by the vibrations of the particles of the medium through which it passes.

There are two types of waves: Longitudinal waves and Transverse waves.

Longitudinal Waves: A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the ‘same direction’ in which the wave is moving.  Medium can be solid, liquid or gases. Therefore, sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Transverse Waves: A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate up and down ‘at right angles’ to the direction in which the wave is moving. These waves are produced only in a solids and liquids but not in gases.

the right answer is 0.3 meters per second
