Question
Distinguish between longitudinal and transverse waves.
✓

Answer

Longitudinal wave: A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the ‘same direction’, in which the wave is moving, is called a longitudinal wave.
These waves can be produced in all the three media: solids, liquids and gases.
Transverse wave: A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate up and down, ‘at right angles’ to the direction in which the wave is moving, is called a transverse wave.
It can be produced in solids and liquids but not in gases.

There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.
