Which of the following statement is correct?
1 Light waves are transverse but sound waves on strings are longitudinal
2 Sound waves and waves on a string and transverse but light waves are longitudinal
3 Light waves and waves on a string are transverse but sounds waves are longitudinal
4 Light waves and sound waves are transverse but waves on string are longitudinal
5 Light waves, sound waves and waves on a string are all longitudinal
Explanation:
C Sound waves are longitudinal waves and light waves are transverse waves, light waves can be polarized but sound waves cannot polarized. Sound waves require a medium while light waves do not require a medium.

Pick out the condition which is not required for the formation of stationary waves.
1 The medium on which waves are formed should be bound medium
2 Both the waves should have same frequency
3 Both the waves should have same velocity
4 The waves should have same direction
5 Both the waves should have same wavelength
Explanation:
D The wave should travel in same direction is not required for the formation of stationary waves. Stationary waves are formed when two progressive waves of same amplitude and same wave length that are travelling along a straight line in opposite directions when they are superimposed on each other.

Which one of the following statements is true?
1 Both light and sound waves in air are transverse
2 The sound waves in air are longitudinal while the light waves are transverse
3 Both light and sound waves in air are longitudinal
4 Both light and sound waves can travel in vacuum
Explanation:
B The sound waves in air are longitudinal because the medium particles move parallel to the direction of wave propagation while the light waves are transverse because the medium particles moves perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
