Explanation:

This worksheet is about transverse and longitudinal waves, which falls under the subfield of Physics (Natural Science). The questions involve concepts like wave medium, wave movement, and wave types. For each question, the correct choice is circled:

1. Sound needs a medium, air is a medium (Choice C).
2. Light is an electromagnetic wave and doesn't need a medium (Choice B).
3. Longitudinal waves move back and forth (Choice B).
4. Sound is a longitudinal wave (Choice A).
5. Transverse waves move perpendicular to the wave direction (Choice A).
6. Light is carried by transverse waves (Choice B).
7. Waves transfer energy (Choice A).
8. Ocean waves are longitudinal? Wait, actually ocean waves are surface waves, but among the choices, longitudinal is circled (Choice B).
9. A medium is a material (Choice B).
10. Earthquake S - waves are transverse (Choice C).

Answer:

1. C. Air (Yellow)
2. B. No (Dark Green)
3. B. Back and forth (Purple)
4. A. Sound (Orange)
5. A. Perpendicular (Light Blue)
6. B. Transverse (Pink)
7. A. Energy (Orange)
8. B. Longitudinal (Dark Green)
9. B. Material (Dark Blue)
10. C. Transverse (Red)
