(B)Transverse progressive
(C) Transverse stationary
(D) Longitudinal progressive​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is D as it is not stationary

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (D) Longitudinal progressive wave.

A sound carried by air from a sitar to a listener is a longitudinal progressive wave.

A progressive wave is one which moves through a particular medium. They can either longitudinal or transverse.

In case of longitudinal progressive wave, the direction of propagation of the wave is same as the displacement of the particles.

In case of transverse progressive wave, the displacement of the particles takes place perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
