Question

question 21 of 25which two statements are true about the wave shown?a. the wave could be a light wave.b. the wave is a transverse wave.c. the wave could be a sound wave.d. the wave is a longitudinal wave.

Explanation:

• Longitudinal waves have regions of compression (where particles are close together) and rarefaction (where particles are spread apart), which is what the given wave image shows.
• Sound waves are longitudinal waves. Light waves are transverse waves (oscillations perpendicular to wave - propagation direction), and the wave in the image is not transverse.

Answer:

C. The wave could be a sound wave.
D. The wave is a longitudinal wave.
