Question

What do ocean waves and sound waves have in common?

a )Both are transverse waves.
b) both are longitudinal waves
c )Both are electromagnetic waves.
d )Both exhibit the same particle-to-particle interaction.
e) Both are mechanical waves.

Answer 1

E. Both are mechanical waves acting on or through a medium.

Answer 2

e) Both are mechanical waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that mechanical waves are those type of waves which need medium to propagate from one point to other point

Here as we are comparing Sound waves and ocean waves then we can say that they both requires medium to travel from one end to other end.

So the common characteristic of the two waves is that they both requires medium to travel from one point to other point

So correct answer will be

e) Both are mechanical waves.
