| KillGorack | 2023-07-16 15:52:32 | The correct answer is 1) sound wave in air. A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the oscillations of particles occur parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. Out of the given options: Sound wave in air: Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves. In air, sound waves propagate as compressions and rarefactions of air molecules, with the molecules vibrating parallel to the direction of the wave. Wave traveling in a string: Waves traveling in a string, such as transverse waves, do not exhibit the necessary particle oscillations parallel to the wave direction to be considered longitudinal waves. Therefore, the correct answer is 1) sound wave in air, as it represents an example of a longitudinal wave. |
