(A) Electromagnetic
(B) Transverse
(C) Longitudinal
(D) Seismic

Answer 1

Answer:

I think its Longitudinal..

Answer 2

Answer:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave.

Explanation:

Sound is a form of energy that is produced by vibrating objects. Vibrating objects produce this form of energy that moves in a longitudinal wave moving with low and high pressure areas outwards from the source.

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature, consisting of compressions and rarefactions travelling through a medium.

Sound waves have five main characteristics:

1) Wavelength - this is the shortest distance that the sound wave repeats itself.

2) Amplitude - this is the maximum displacement of particles of a medium that sound waves passes through.

3) Time period - this is the time taken by a sound wave to complete one cycle.

4) Frequency - this is the number of complete cycles that a sound wave makes in one second.

5) Velocity - this is the distance travelled by a sound wave in a second.
