MCQ
With propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium, the quantity transmitted is:
  • A
    Matter.
  • B
    Energy.
  • C
    Energy and matter.
  • D
    Energy, matter and momentum.

Answer

  1. Energy.

Explanation:

During propagation of any wave in a medium only energy is transmitted from one point to another. Matter does not change its own position it, vibrates about its mean position only.
