MCQ
Water waves produced by a motor boat sailing in water are:
- ANeither longitudinal nor transverse.
- ✓Both longitudinal and transverse.
- COnly longitudinal.
- DOnly transverse.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Both longitudinal and transverse.
As the waves are produced by motor boat on surface as well as inside water, the waves are both, transverse as well as longitudinal.
