Question

Which of the following describes the type of wave that transmits sound? . . Disturbance . . Longitudinal . . Propagated . . Transverse . .

Answer 1

Longitudinal

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound wave is a type of mechanical wave which required medium to transmit the energy from one point to other point.

here in longitudinal waves the medium molecules will oscillates or move to and from about their mean position parallel to the wave propagation.

While in transverse waves the medium particles will oscillates in perpendicular direction to the propagation of waves.

So here sound wave is described by its property of propagation through the medium and due to this way of propagation we say it as Longitudinal waves.

Answer 2

"Longitudinal" is the one among the following choices given in the question that describes the type of wave that transmits sound. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your great help.
