Physics Question on Waves
With the propogation of a longitudinal wave through a material medium, the quantities transmitted in the propogation direction are
A
energy, momentum and mass
B
energy
C
energy and mass
D
energy and linear momentum
Answer
energy and linear momentum
Explanation
Solution
In case of longitudinal wave, the particles maximum parallel or antiparallel to the velocity of wave. Hence they transmit energy and momentum in the direction of propagation.
