Question

question 6 of 10 which option is an example of a longitudinal wave? a. a wave carried through a rope b. a sound wave c. a wave on top of water d. a light wave

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave - propagation. Sound waves are longitudinal as air particles vibrate back - and - forth parallel to the sound wave's direction. Rope waves and water waves are mechanical transverse waves (particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction). Light waves are electromagnetic transverse waves.

Answer:

B. A sound wave
