Question

What kind of wave (transverse of longitudinal) is each of the following and why?

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it.

The vibrations in a guitar string.

Answer 1

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater. is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation
