Question
What type of wave is produced when the particles of the medium are vibrating to and fro in the same direction of wave propagation?longitudinal wave.sound wave.standing wave.transverse wave.
Solution
The type of wave produced when the particles of the medium are vibrating to and fro in the same direction of wave propagation is a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also an example of longitudinal waves. In these waves, the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of propagation of the wave.
Standing waves and transverse waves are different. In standing waves, the positions of maximum and minimum amplitude (known as nodes and antinodes) do not move. In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave propagation.
